Sacramental Theology

3 Credits · Level: Undergraduate

An exploration of the church’s sacramental rites as service to the entire Christian life—the body of the church in its members—as the worship of God. Sacramental theology draws us into consideration of the church’s understanding of the human condition, Jesus the Christ, revelation, the church, and the ethics of Christian life. While focused on contemporary Roman Catholicism, our study necessarily includes attention to history, the theology of other Christian denominations, as well Jewish sources at Christian origins.
