Trajectories in Contemporary Theology

3 credits

This course will begin with an exploration of contemporary developments in theology, giving particular attention to the Second Vatican Council as a watershed event not only for Catholicism but, in some sense, for the development of Christian theology in general. The remainder of the course will explore post-conciliar, theological trajectories in three to four of the following fields: 1) comparative theology, 2) systematic/constructive theologies, 3) liturgy and sacraments, 4) theological ethics, 5) Biblical studies. While required for theology majors and minors, the course is open to any other student.
