Class #4325
*Online
Instructor:  Robert Ludwig
*NOTE: Required online weekly synchronous sessions are held Tuesdays, 7:30p.m. – 8:30p.m., Central Standard Time
     Today many Christians have little or no understanding of how the New Testament experience became translated into Christian doctrine; many have little or no insight into how Christian theology today understands the dynamics of sin and grace, the notion of salvation, the role of Jesus Christ as understood by Christian faith.  This course is an overview of fundamental Christian theology, as it developed through history, focused on the core doctrines of grace, Christ, and Trinity.  In this course, students will pursue an understanding of the Catholic core: how God has been wedded to humanity and creation in Jesus Christ and how we are called to participate in this divine-human communion in and through incarnation and grace.  We will explore the experiential foundations of Christian doctrine and see the evolution of interpretation from early centuries to the present.  Much of the course will explore contemporary, pastoral understandings of Christian doctrine: How might we understand and explain the Catholic core in our ministries on the ground today?  We will move between experience and doctrine and back to experience, helping students gain insight into both as they come to understand the dynamic process that leads from experience to doctrine—and, in theology, back again to experience and to ministry.

Scripture

Christian Origins and The New Testament

(2 sections)
(IPS 416-001)
Class #2658

Wednesdays, 4:15p.m. – 6:45p.m.

Class #4326
*Online
Instructor:  Robert Ludwig
*NOTE:  Required online synchronous times, Thursdays, 7:30p.m. – 8:30p.m. Central Standard Time.
     This course serves as an introduction to and overview of the history and theology of the New Testament.  Students explore the world of Jesus and his interpreters from both an historical and a hermeneutical perspective, learn about the religious and cultural world of Palestinian Judaism during the Roman occupation and the Christian mission as it evolved over the first century.  The course considers the life and teachings of Jesus in Galilee in the twenties; the beginnings of the Christian movement in the revelatory experience of Christ risen and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, the preaching of the gospel focused on his life, death, and resurrection; the missionary movement of the Church into the Greco-Roman world (the life and writings of the apostle Paul); and the development of the four canonical gospels, each with their unique portrait of Jesus Christ and the path of discipleship. Throughout the course, students make connections between then and now, Christian origins and our world of faith, practice, and ministry today.  The purpose of the course is developing this “back and forth” movement between then and now—between the world of Christian origins and our world, the patterns of faith’s meaning then and the challenges of authentic faith today.

Ignatian Spirituality II: Discernment, Ignatian, Prayer and Social Justice

(IPS 433-001)
Class #4327
Water Tower Campus, Corboy Law Center, Room 326
Instructor:  Stephen Krupa, S.J.
Thursdays, 4:15p.m. – 6:45p.m.

  [Prerequisite Note:  Any IPS student can enroll in this course.  However, a prerequisite exists for students enrolled in the Ignatian Exercises Program (IEP), namely, IPS 435 Ignatian Spirituality I: Hearts on Fire]

NOTE: All students enrolled in this course should consult Blackboard one week before the start of the course to receive the reading assignment for Week I.  Always check your “luc.edu” account for Announcements about this course.

Desire is often presented as a rival to holiness.  Strange, since when we look at Jesus we see a person of great desires, passions, and motives, and the great choices and actions that flowed from them.  Great desires and the choices and actions that flow from them are the substance of discernment.  People in our time are thrown by their desires, or are stymied by a collision of good and worthy intentions.  These desires beg for order.  How do I order my loves?  How do I become intelligent and wise in my loving?  How do I come to know and choose not only the good, but the better, “the more,” and thus flourish both as a human being and a disciple of Christ?  In this course we will study and engage in discernment in the tradition of the Spiritual Exercises of Ignatius of Loyola.  For Ignatius discernment is more than just decisions and decision-making.  Christian discernment is a way of life.  A “discerning way of life” for a disciple of Jesus means a praxis, or ongoing habit, of self-knowledge and knowledge of God.  Such knowledge for Ignatius is grounded in a personal relationship with Christ, an intimacy that grounds life and action in the world.  Ignatius’ “Rules for Discernment” will be the focus of the course, as well as the forms of Christian prayer that emerge from the Spiritual Exercises (i.e., the Examen, meditation, Ignatian imaginative contemplation, application of the senses, the colloquy, ‘consolation with and without cause’, and contemplation).  Such discernment and prayer propel and sustain life and inform human choices and action in our time, a time of great potential and grace, but also of great human contradiction; a world begging for the justice of Jesus Christ.  Note: Despite its Ignatian focus, the course will offer guidance for practicing discernment across Christian denominations.

Ethics in Pastoral Counseling and Spiritual Direction

Course Syllabus: Ethics in Pastoral Counseling and Spiritual Direction Syllabus

Liturgy

Liturgy and the Christian Sacraments

(IPS 541-001)
Class #2315
*Online
Instructor:  Robert O’Gorman
*NOTE:  Required weekly synchronous times are Tuesdays, 6:00p.m. – 7:00p.m., Central Standard Time.
     Sacraments are rituals that act in profound and mysterious ways. They are doorways to sacred communal memory--important links in “remembering” sacred relationships. These exist here and now—a relationship to deeper parts of self, a relationship to one another as the human family and ultimately a relationship to God.  
     The course proposes that sacraments are vital to the developmental life of the person and that the Catholic Church’s seven sacraments are linked to seven key points of human development, that the sacraments provide us daily experiences of development as human persons and thus the development of human community (ritually celebrated  at communal times). Sacraments infuse the human journey with the sacred and impart the gifts needed to live a life based in spiritual principles of sacramental relationship. They provide bodily experiences of divine presence in the here and now and ultimately guide us in authentic spiritual expression. It is through awakened sacramental awareness that we become mediators of grace – sacraments – in the world.
     Our two fold aim in this course is to re-conceive person’s participation in sacraments from passive events that are solely experienced in formal liturgy to daily experiences that guide the spiritual life; and to develop practical strategies to effect a vital sacramental life for the church.
     This course’s broader significance then is twofold: 1) to revisit the transcendent/imminent character of our relationship with the Divine and 2) to put the experience of the sacraments in the hands of the people of God for their everyday practice of the spiritual life.
     Our course will look at the seven Catholic sacraments from three perspectives: 1) what is a sacrament, 2) what is the place of sacraments in our life and in the human story, and 3) how do we live them.  The class will include both theoretical and experiential learning. We will draw from students’ ministerial experiences, assigned readings and observations, and lecture.

     To get at a vital notion of the sacraments and liturgy, we will work with four five (5) texts. The core text, Anatomy of the Spirit, lays down a human development understanding of the seven sacraments. This text is bolstered by a look at ritual and the brain - Remembering the Future, Imagining the Past: Story, Ritual, and the Human Brain. Doors to the Sacred provides the theological and historical basis for the sacraments and Sacraments and Sacramentality addresses the pastoral dimensions of the practice of the sacraments and finally Eric Erickson’s Identity in the Lifecycle provides a psychological approach to human development.

The Human Person and Psychological Development

(IPS 555-001)

Class #1482
Water Tower Campus, Maguire Hall, Room 360
Instructor: Char Dillon
Tuesdays, 1:00 p.m. – 3:30 p.m.
Note: This class is for Pastoral Counseling students only.

Human beings are created to grow and mature into their full humanity.  Every phase of life carries particular psychological and spiritual agenda with which the minister needs to be acquainted.  While each person is unique, our developmental story from birth to death is also our universal human story with particular variations, sharpened around gender and cultural differences.  We will explore these differences even as we seek to discover reliable markers for ministry to person throughout the life cycle.  The role of the minister in pastoral care situations with persons at different phases of life’s journey will be our primary focus.
