Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The aim of the course is to convey the various foundations and sources of theology as a whole and of systematic theology in particular with regard to their specific meaning on the basis of a systematic-genetic concept of theology, and to gain a concept of theology that can be maintained in a critical way. Connected with this, the lecture series reflects on theological principles that are relevant due to the discourse with Judaic tradition, that entail special theological educational tasks, and that concern the status of theology as a contemporary science, its discursivity, and its claims of truth.

The course deals with the following contents and topics:
- Theology - a Christian development
- Foundations of theology: revelation and faith as a principle of knowledge; the relationship between reason and faith; validity of scripture, tradition, teaching authority, and practice.
- Practice of theology
- "Knowledge of the Holy One / Da'at haShem as principle
- Discourse - disparity - tuth/applicability

Methods:
- Present-oral Lecture, presentations, digital recording; discussions in the lecture hall
- The lectures and the summaries of each topic will be available on Moodle platform.
