Course aim

To introduce students to the active process of 'doing theology' in the Catholic tradition, in educational settings, through the critical examination of core theological topics, bringing together contemporary human experience, questions and challenges into personal and communal dialogue with this Catholic tradition.

Course content

Students will develop their knowledge and understanding of the nature, history and expressions of Catholic theology, especially in its post-Vatican II contemporary contexts. Theological anthropology highlights contemporary understandings of the human person as created in the image of God and radically open to personal and communal relationship with the God of Jesus Christ. Images and concepts of God are explored and critiqued. The context, mission and message of Jesus are examined, prior to consideration of the community of the Church: its origins in First Century Judaism, its rapid early growth and its contemporary expressions and challenges. The course also considers the vital implications of these elements of theology for contemporary Catholic school settings including Religious Education programs.
