In this course, redemption is presented in its two simultaneous dimensions-the unique and salvific role of Christ in the plan of Salvation, as well as the role of individual persons in response to Christ. This two-fold nature of salvation results in the paradoxical formulation of redemption as both an accomplished event as well as an unfinished, developing relationship. The mysteries of the Incarnation will be investigated as the already complete aspect of redemption, while an inquiry into human morality and moral values will address the developing, relational dimension of redemption.
