The Church: Icon of the Kingdom of God

Catalog description

We will investigate some of the most important aspects of contemporary Catholic and Orthodox ecclesiologies, e.g. laity, communion, liturgy, women's ordination, church and state, papacy, and Christian unity. The class will have a phenomenological approach; it will focus on the experience and the expectation of the Kingdom in the Church, to present the Church as icon (sign instrument) of the Kingdom of God.
