An introductory course, providing a definition of the subdiscipline of the history of dogma and presenting its
material from the beginning to the present, with regard to all main branches of Christianity. His goal is: a) to familiarize the students with the basic facts of the history of Christian dogma b) to critically orientate in the problem of the view of dogma and the relationship between the denominational and the ecumenical dimension of Christianity c) To offer a logical axis for organizing a more extensive independent study of church history. The main topics discussed: 1. The concept of dogma. 2. The formation of the biblical canon and its relation to the creeds; the early Christian symbola. 3. The ecumenical councils; the Trinitarian teaching; the christological questions; the controversy about icons. 4. The medieval councils; the development of the concept of sacraments from early church to Hussites. 5. The causes of the Reformation; the doctrine of sin, grace and justification, with the preconditions in the conflict between Augustine and Pelagianism. 6. The internal split of the reformation theology over the understanding of the sacrament; the Protestant creeds. 7. The dogmatic development of Roman Catholicism from the Tridentine to the Second Vatican Council. Last update: Gallus Petr, doc., Ph.D. (02.09.2024)

Gaining an overview of the history of Christian doctrine is a key issue and an important cornerstone in studying theology. This course is thus of major importance. What this course provides, is not only an overview of history, but rather a fundamental introduction into theological thinking as such, on the basis of the history of doctrine. Not only the course and the written exam in the last session, but also theology as such across its particular disciplines require a thorough knowledge of history of Christian doctrine. The goal of this course is thus to know the theological decisions and arguments of the tradition and to start to think theologically oneself. Last update: Gallus Petr, doc., Ph.D. (27.01.2025)
