The course will turn on the question of the science of Christ in medieval theology. The theologians of the Middle Ages first identified Christ's science to God's science. But afterwards they realized that Christ's human science couldn't be equal to his divine science. Thomas Aquinas will make a distinction between three forms of human knowledge in Jesus Christ : the beatific vision, the infused species in the intellect and the  experimental knowledge.

The methods of medieval theology, its different forms ( monastic, scholastic, positive), its literary forms, the challenges it had to take up, will be presented.
