Annotation -
The aim of the course is to introduce students to the essential meaning structures of Christianity, its inner thought and spiritual content (rather than just the history or sociological aspects). We are guided by the constant components of the ancient Christian versions of the so-called creed, against the background of biblical sources and in light of traditional and contemporary interpretations. The student will also gain insight into the meaning of Christian orthopraxy, especially ethos and spirituality. Overall, the student will gain a deeper foundation for assessing the inspirational and dialogical potential of Christianity in the context of today's society.
