Salve Regina University

Subject:

Description:

Core Complement Course in Religious Studies One of the great dangers in our technological, rational culture lies in ignoring or even forgetting the evocative power of symbol and metaphor to communicate meaning in mysterious ways. This course will study the Catholic sacraments from the perspective of religious experience and symbol, starting with Christ as symbol and sacrament, and the church as the community, which can continue the sacrament of Christ. Students will study the history of each sacrament to discover the development of its liturgical rites and their symbolic meanings. Prerequisite: RST210. 3 credits.
