Course Descriptions
God Will Be All in All: Universal Salvation (Apokatastasis) Dr. Timothy Carmody (SPT532 Biblical) Pauls Letter to the Corinthians, the Acts of the Apostles, and the Letter to the Hebrews have offered Christians through the ages images of Gods universal saving will. In reflecting on these biblical passages, theologians past and present have offered varied insights into the final and full conclusion of Gods salvation. Belief in apokatastasis (universal salvation) inspired some of the greatest of the early Church theologians Origen and Gregory of Nyssa have offered great insight into the value of this belief. In her spiritual writings, Therese of Lisieux reflects some of these ideas, and the contemporary Catholic Theologians Karl Rahner and Urs von Balthasar have also wrestled with these ideas. The course will examine the New Testament texts that are the source and foundation of these ideas, the Platonic philosophy that influenced early Church reflection on these ideas, and some figures of the contemporary Church as it wrestles with salvation as the universal will of God. Communion: The Spirituality of Vatican II Dr. John Switzer (SPT565 Historical) A dominant and inspiring theme that runs through the documents of the Second Vatican Council is that of communion. It informs the reshaping of Catholic understanding with regard to the college of bishops, the relationship between laity and clergy, ecumenical endeavors and even believers of the other great religions. In this course well endeavor to discover and appreciate this fact more fullyand boldly suggest that such a theological understanding be the foundation for a lifegiving Christian spirituality that is greatly needed in the contemporary world. Hybrid course Students must complete the first credit in the classroom to be eligible to participate in credits 2 and 3. Credits 2 and 3 will be offered online. Church/World, Church/State: The Social and Political Vision of Vatican II Dr. Matthew Bagot (SPT553 Moral) This class will explore the lines between religion and politics in light of the Churchs teachings at Vatican II. We will read two documents from the Council: Gaudium et Spes, also known as the Pastoral Constitution on the Church in the Modern World; and Dignitatis Humanae, the Churchs Declaration on Religious Liberty. We will focus on how the two documents complement one another and may thus be read in tandem. The Spirituality of Thrse of Lisieux: Doctor of the Church Rev. Stephen Campbell, S.J. (SPT542 Historical) Thrse of Lisieux was declared a doctor of the church in 1997 by John Paul II. She was the third woman to receive that title. The fourth was Hildegard of Bingen. This course will explore Thrses life and teaching, how she responded to the spirituality of her time, how she anticipated several key themes of the Second Vatican Council, and how we might respond today and incorporate her little way into our own lives. Does Money Make the World Go Around? The Gospel of Luke, Heir to the Prophets and Advocate for the Poor Rev. John Donahue, S.J. (SPT531- Biblical) As we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Second Vatican Council we recall that two great streams of Catholic tradition merged there. In Dei Verbum (The Dogmatic Constitution on Revelation) study of the Scripture became the soul of theology, and all groups in the Church were urged to read and study the Bible. Building on the Churchs social teaching since Pope Leo XIII, Gaudium et spes (The Pastoral Constitution on the Church in the Modern World) urged that both the justice and love of Christ toward the poor might be developed everywhere (No 90). By engaging the prophetic heritage of Luke and the Gospels teaching on concern for the poor and the danger of wealth the course will help in bringing the Gospel to bear on major social issues of our time.
