Scripture, Church and Sacraments

The first semester of this two semester course begins with a discussion of the Catholic view of Revelation and Faith, then moves on to explore the Roman Catholic faith through the study of its roots 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 second semester will be focused 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. 

In addition, the students reflect on their individual faith journeys through their personal journals.

Introduction to World Religions - Syllabus

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, the Chinese religions and the Japanese 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.



Working Toward Justice and Peace - Syllabus

In this course, students will become aware of justice/injustice in the world, analyze structures of injustice using the biblical tradition found in Scripture, the social teaching of the church and develop a personal response to justice in their lives and the world. Students will also appreciate the justice work of “the community of saints” – those who have modeled and continue to model justice. Students will apply the social teaching and tradition of the Catholic Church to some of the major issues of our time such as: poverty, homelessness, war, resource distribution and the World Order, and environmental crisis. Students will study the issues, examine their own lives as well as public policy through reading, discussion, art, music, prayer and the theological reflection of the Church. Then they will find ways to work concretely toward helping to effect structural change.


 

Experiencing God - Syllabus

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.
