This course covers two subjects: Experience of God (RET4042A) and Introduction to the study of protestant theology (RETA4001).
The Experience of God can be tracked in biblical and liturgical texts, church documents, theological treatises, poetry or other forms of Christian art. Approaching this experience theologically means that we have to enter into a dialectial tension between the requirements of a spiritual journey and of a science. This course will introduce fundamental theological themes, such as: the divine mystery and revelation; authorities that testify to God; the role of historical and cultural contexts; belief in divine grace and methods for interpreting the human experience of God; the wisdom of discernment. These issues will be investigated as they evolved in different Christian traditions, from within this creative tension between the requirements of the spiritual journey and of the science. Based on the book by Ivana Noble, Tracking God: An Ecumenical Fundamental Theology, the course consists of lectures and discussions. Students will read and interpret theological texts, listen to music, and engage with works of art. Poslední úprava: Širka Zdenko, Mgr., Th.D. (14.10.2021)
