Aims

The objective is to learn to read a work in dogmatic theology, to write a well documented exposé, demonstrating personal discernment, and to present it in public; to propose relevant questions on a chosen theme; to answer questions posed in a well-argued manner; and to evaluate a theological route travelled during a whole term.

Main themes

The theme of the seminar is taken from one of the various dogmatic questions (God, evil, our final end, etc.). After a few introductory meetings led by the instructor, each meeting involves: (a) the presentation of an analysis by a student; (b) its discussion by all participants. The final evaluation of the term's work is written individually and discussed during the last meeting.

Other information (prerequisite, evaluation (assessment methods), course materials recommended readings, ...)

Evaluation: Students are graded not only on their oral exposé and written text, but also on their level of participation in discussion.
Material: During the first meeting, the instructor sets out a bibliography on the chosen theme.
