Annotation
This introductory course of theology discusses what the theology is. The aim is to offer a fundamental "theological horizon" and it gives the essential tools for a deeper study of theology in other courses. After delimiting of the term "theology" and other important theological terms, the course focuses on several "theological models" from the history of Christian theology. The next chapters are the sources and contexts the theology works and communicates with: the Scripture, the Tradition, the Liturgy, the Church, the Science and the Reason.
International students are welcome to participate: at the beginning of the course, an individual curriculum will be prepared for each student, according to his or her language skills and other possibilities. The course will be successfully finished with an oral exam, based on the literature indicated by the teacher.
