CREATION AND GRACE

Catalog description

The course engages seminal figures, genres, and texts, representative of particular theological expressions across the history of the Catholic tradition. The course presupposes familiarity with foundational theological principles covered in THEO 105 and TH EO 205. The diverse expressions of God’s transformation of the cosmos through the mystery of grace is the unifying aspect to the course. A traditional definition of theology is credo ut intelligam , which is to say that the theologian attempts to enter into the received faith with ever -greater understanding. Theology presupposes a deep congruence and complementarity between faith and reason as it attempts, with intellectual vigor, to follow the Psalmist injunction to “seek his face always.” Prerequisites: THEO 105, THEO 205.
