Saint Louis University-Main Campus

Subject:

Systematic Theology (Aquinas)

Description:

A study of the nature and mission of the Church and the role it plays in the mystery of salvation revealed for all peoples in Jesus Christ. This course focuses on ecclesiological method and how theologians engage in a critical and systematic study of the Church. It surveys those major biblical, doctrinal, and theological themes used in history to define the Church. In addition, the course studies the unique contributions of Vatican II and themes such as communion, ecclesiology, collegiality, the laity, and the role of Mary in the Church. The course also studies how issues such as globalization, the changing shape of ministry, evangelization, ecumenism, and the experiences of women and the poor, among others, are prompting new theological insights on the nature and mission of the Church today.
