Foundations of Theology

This course introduces students to the study of theology. It examines the nature and function of theology through a systematic inquiry into the dynamics of faith and revelation, the role of scripture and tradition, the use of religious language and symbols, the genesis of doctrine, the operation of theological method, and the relationship of theology to praxis. This course introduces basic theological concepts and terms, exposes students to some major theologians and theological styles, and situates the study of theology in the life and ministry of the Church. It is designed for MDiv students and others in first degree programs (MA, MTS, etc.). Students will be evaluated through short papers, class participation, and a final exam. [25 max enrollment]
