In Search of the Church

Catalog description

Taught by DSPT. Beginning with Scripture, Part 1 examines the Church of the Origins, the rising of the Christian community, and the progressive self-awareness of the community as it organized to respond to the call of the Gospel and the needs of the times. Part 2 surveys the ^quest for ecclesiology^ in the movement from the Reformation and the Council of Trent to the 20th century and what went into creating a ^Vatican II mentality.^ Part 3 highlights Church in the contemporary world: Church as mystery; community sent to announce and celebrate salvation; Church that witnesses and serves; tasks confronting the Church today.
