TH 801 Studies in Trinitarian Theology The Triune God is the ultimate reality that Christians love, worship and serve. The doctrine of the Trinity has been the most crucial and central theological locus in the history of the Christian theology. In particular, there was a renaissance in the Trinitarian theology on a global scale in the late 20th century. On the basis of this initial insight, this course will explore in depth the history, major proponents and models of the doctrine of the Trinity throughout church history. In addition, this course will engage with a variety of models of the contemporary Trinitarian theology, analyzing their practical implications for church ministry, mission, personal and public ethics and spiritual formation. Prerequisite: Enrollment in the Master of Theology program or instructor permission. Three hours. TH 802 Contemporary Ecclesiologies This course is a study of the doctrine of the Church and churches. Against the background of the history of ecclesiology, the majority of the course will be devoted to ecclesiological thought since the mid-20th century. Topics include, but are not limited to, the role of ecclesiology in the life and thought of the Church, the nature and mission of the Church, unity and diversity in Christianity, and selected ministries of the Church and churches. The emphasis will be on recent Protestant theology and theologians, though perspectives considered will be ecumenically, geographically, and culturally diverse. Prerequisite: Enrollment in the Master of Theology program or instructor permission. Three hours.
