This freshman course examines Catholic Christianity, its worship, its Sacraments, and its commitment to serve others.
Special attention is given to the problems of adolescent faith development.
This sophomore course is devoted to the study of the Bible and its impact on faith. Using the historical-critical method, primary texts of both Jewish and Christian Scriptures are examined. In the light of Biblical revelation, students explore topics like divine and human nature, justice and compassion, the purpose of suffering, sin, morality, the identity of Jesus and the role of Christian community. This is a junior course. The need for Christian ethics arises from a further reflection of just how difficult it is to be human.
