Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This series of lectures has ten units:
1st unit: Topic and challenge of theology.
2nd and 3rd unit: Realtion between Judaism and Chrstianity as a central nota of Christia self-reflection; Christianity has no relevance and no meaning without or beyond its relation to the biblical Israel and the present Israel.
4th unit: Some remarkable Christian synodes that gave theology some of its most important impacts.
5th and 6th unit: Important philosophers and theologians in Christian history.
7th, 8th, and 9th unit: God's revelation as a central topic of systematic theology: its meaning (esp. within the Biblical tradition), prophets' and Jesus' concern on it, eternal covenant.
10th unit: Theology and modern society - antogonism or coherence?

Assessment and permitted materials

Written exam

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Students should
- know what it means to think theologically and how theology as a rational science works within Christianity as well as related to non-religious issues;
- be able to find out what can lead theology to an anti-Jewish attitude and to avoid any kind of thinking that leads to them to this attitude;
- realize by an overview of the development of Christian thinking and teaching that Christian theory was and is always part of history and its changes;
- come to know that God's revelation is reflecting itself in a long series of experiences that have been transmitted by important witnesses;
- understand what it means for Christian theology that God's covenant with Israel has never been broken up.
