Aims

By the end of this course, the student should be able:
- to describe the process of dogmatic reflection;
- to locate the "highlights" of the history of dogma and to elaborate a personal reflection or synthesis about Christian dogma and its history.

Main themes

To achieve the objectives set out above, the course deals with the following themes:
- an overview of Christian dogma as it has developed and taken shape over the twenty centuries of the history of Christianity;
- presentation of dogma as the result of an historical listening to the Holy Scripture, pursuing on another level the process which led to the writing of the Bible.

Content and teaching methods

The course will study the interpretation and the development of the original confessions of faith, above all in the ecumenical councils of the first millennium (Nicaea, Constantinople, Ephesus, Chalcedon…); afterward, it will deal with the Catholic dogmas of the second millennium (Eucharistic doctrine, Trent, Marian dogmas…).
