THEO 330 - Theology of Death And Dying

Institution:

University of St Francis

Subject:

Description:

explores the experience of suffering, death, and dying from the perspective of Christian anthropology. Modern technology has added complexity to the ethical decisions which the dying person and the family must face. This complexity will be addressed in light of recent Christian thinking on these issues. From a pastoral/spiritual point of view, the Church as Community and Sacrament will be examined as a means of divine and gracious comfort for the dying person and the family and friends, as well as a sign of hope through Christian belief in the Paschal Mystery.
