The Hebrew Scriptures

This course begins with a discussion of the Catholic view of Revelation and Faith, then moves on to explore the roots of the Roman Catholic faith in the Hebrew Scriptures. It covers the span of the creation stories in the book of Genesis, the stories of the patriarchs, the Exodus event, the reign of the Israelite kings, and the Wisdom and Prophetic literature of the Hebrew Scriptures.

 

The Christian Testament

This course focuses on the New Testament, particularly on the Gospels. Students will learn about the life and teachings of Jesus, the Paschal Mystery as revealed through Jesus' death and Resurrection, and the Catholic understanding of Jesus as Redeemer and Son of God. 
 
 

Introduction to World Religions

This course is a survey of the major world religions. It covers the major religions that are found in most parts of the world - Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Judaism and the Chinese religions. It will analyze each of the religions from a perspective of empathy and neutrality, looking at its beginnings, its major teachings, and its modern practice.

 
 

Experiencing God

Through various prayer experiences and a study of several Christian mystics, this course enables students to explore their relationships with self, God, others and creation both intellectually and affectively. Fostering integration of body, mind and spirit in the development of one’s personal spirituality is a primary focus of this class.
 
 

Sacraments, Church and Liturgy

The objective of this course is to explore the concept of sacrament as a unique way of viewing all reality.  Without appreciating this all-encompassing vision, one might not be able to see how the sacraments of the Church are grounded in Jesus, in the church, and in the sacredness of God’s creation.  Each human being is sacramental, meaning that sacramental theology is based upon concrete, personal experiences of God’s grace available to all.  Each sacrament has a history, and they are personal and communal encounters with God in Christ.
