Aims
This course is a bachelor's, introductory course on some key concepts of Christian theology, such as creation, church, eschatology, grace and sin. Concretely, the following aims are targetted:
- To acquire knowledge about the hermeneutical aspects of theology (the mutually clarifying link between human reality and experience, and theological issues and concepts) and the capacity to recognize and articulate those hermeneutical features in for protology, ecclesiology, and theology of salvation.
- To acquire knowledge about basic theological terms and to be able to relate them to one’s context.
- To acquire knowledge about the history of theological thought in the context of protology, ecclesiology and theology of salvation.
- To acquire a synthetic view on theology from the perspective of a theology of encounter. In that perspective also acquire sensitivity to an interreligious context for these theological concepts and issues.
- To acquire methodological skills allowing to discuss and review articles and books.

Aims
Content
After an introduction on theological hermeneutics in its relationship to a theology of encounter, using narrativity as a tool, the various concepts and contextualized issues under study are introduced: creation, the church, grace, sin, and eschatology. The various chapters, the order of which may be changed each year, will be taught in an interconnected way. They will contain a description of the issues at stake, contextually clarified and hermeneutically elaborated; they will also provide some insight in the history of theological reflection. Students will be asked to keep a diary in which, after each class, they will relate the concepts under study to their personal context. They are also supposed to work their way through compulsory reading material, which they will discuss in article and book reviews.
Course Material
A syllabus with schemes and compulsory reading will be provided.
