Aims

- introduce the students to the doctrinal content of classical tractates about creation, spiritual elevation, original sin, etc.;
- help the students to reflect on these questions with an open mind to the current orientations of dogmatic theology;
- acquire a historical background with a view to understanding the main developments in the field of Christian anthropology.

Main themes

The course elucidates the theological notion of creation, questions the relationship of body and soul, concentrates on questions of original justice and original sin and develops a theological reflection on grace and justification, while taking into account divergences between Augustine and Pelagianism, between the Council of Trent and Luther.

Content and teaching methods

The course has three sections. The first deals with creation from a Christian perspective, the anthropological problem of the union of body and soul, and man as a person. The second section studies questions of original justice, original sin, the sin of origins, and the consequences of sin. The third section is reserved for themes on grace and justification.
Method: Each of these sections includes an historical exposé of data from Holy Scripture and Church teaching, as well as a systematic exposé.
