THEOLOGY OF SACRAMENTS (ST-3067)

(09/05/2023-12/15/2023)

Course Memo

Course introduces students to systematic theological reflection on the sacramental economy and the concept of sacramentality in general including the introduction and subsequent adoption of of the term sacramentum; on the Seven Sacraments in general; and on each of these seven in particilar.  This reflection presents the perspective of the Roman Catholic tradition, especially as represented by the teachings of St. Thomas Aquinas: namely, that (1) the Seven Sacraments are instituted by Christ, derive their power from him, and introduce us to his divine life; and that (2) they are celebrated by the Church so that this life may be professed and shared. Requirements: assigned readings, submission of student's commentary and questions in response to assigned readings for each session; a research paper of 2500-3000 words which includes a proposal and an annotated bibliography; and a final exam. Intended Audience: MDiv or MA Theology students; other graduate students admitted with permission.
