CHRISTOLOGY (3 units)

Christology is the systematic faith reflection on the person, ministry, teaching, and significance of Jesus the Christ. This foundational course treats basic Christological themes: contemporary approaches to Christology and methodology; the “historical Jesus”; proclamation of the Kingdom and public ministry; Jesus’ death and resurrection; redemption in Christ; faith formulations drawn from scriptural, conciliar, and contemporary theological reflection. A brief discussion of “Asian questions” (e.g., especially religious pluralism) and the Christological insights of Ecclesia in Asia concludes the course. Selected use of videos will be integrated into the course (e.g., Where Jesus Walked; Parable; How Jesus Died; Silent Witness).
