Aquinas Theology

(7.5 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

By reading Aquinas's Compendium of Theology together, we will be able to see how Aquinas concisely sets forth a coherent account of the Christian faith as a whole. Students will also learn how to navigate effectively Aquinas's theological masterpiece, the Summa Theologiae, and we will discuss in detail Aquinas's approach to God, Creation, Providence, the Incarnation, Redemption, and Eschatology. In addition, students will have the opportunity to consider Aquinas's persistent influence on subsequent theology and church practice (in Catholic, Orthodox and Reformed traditions) to the present day.
