Content
The course alternates a sequence of knowledge acquisition and a sequence of implementation of the knowledge gained from the study of cross-cutting issues. The sequence of knowledge acquisition is organized into three chronological sub-sequences (from the early 19th century in Vatican I / Vatican I to Vatican II / since Vatican II). The sessions in this framework are thematic and related to the major issues that cross the history of Christianity and especially of the Catholic Church on each of these periods.
The knowledge implementation sequence examines both the religious dynamics at local level in Belgium and the dynamics at work on a more general scale (churches and globalization, interfaith and interreligious relations, the history of theology and theologians). In these sessions, the work is mainly based on documentary studies.
