Content
In order to achieve its set objectives, the course will address the following themes: study of rituals (sign, symbol, rite, symbolic order) and specifically Christian rituals in their kinship and difference; biblical roots of rites and liturgies; the pneumatological and ecclesiological dimension of liturgies; liturgical documentation (ancient and contemporary sources, including an in-depth study of liturgical reform after the Second Vatican Council), practical introduction to the use of the main working tools for the study of the sacraments and the liturgy.
Evaluation methods
Students will be evaluated on the basis of three exercises:
- an observation of a Sunday worship, with a ratio of 4/20
- a summary of a chapter in a written manual and presented for oral examination, rated 4/20
- an oral examination on the course. The evaluation will be based mainly on the knowledge acquired and the ability to account for the historical and anthropological (4/20) and theological aspects of liturgical practices (4/20), in particular a question on chapters dealing with the Eucharist (4/20).
