  Baccalaureato in Teologia

Objectives: Introduce students to basic principles of Eucharistic theology and familiarize them with the historical development of that theology; sharpen their analytical skills through engagement with complex theological texts.

Learning outcomes: Students should show a grasp of the sources of the Catholic theology of the Eucharist. They should be able to analyze competing theological arguments and express their own arguments with clarity, evidence, and logical coherence.

Contents: The seminar will examine key moments of controversy in the development of the Catholic doctrine of the Eucharist from the interpretation of Scriptural texts up to and including contemporary questions involving transubstantiation, sacrifice, and the liturgical celebration. We will include patristic and medieval controversies as well as the competing visions of Luther and the Council of Trent. A wide variety of different theological texts will be included so as to stretch students’ analytic abilities.

Methodology: Weekly reading and written assignments; class discussion; a final synthesis paper.

Means of evaluation: Evaluation will be based on weekly written assignments, participation in class discussion, and a final paper.
