Two weeks, Monday through Thursday: June 18 – 21 and June 25 – 28, 5:30 p.m. – 9:30 p.m. 
This course is an overview of fundamental Christian theology--from the New Testament, to Augustine, to Aquinas, to Karl Rahner--focused on the core doctrines of grace, Christ, and Trinity.  Students will pursue an understanding of the experiential foundations of core 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.  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.

LITURGY AND THE CHRISTIAN SACRAMENTS
Meets at Holy Family Parish, Inverness, IL
IPS 541-001, Class number 1593
Instructor: D. Todd Williamson
Wednesdays, April 4 – June 13, 2007, 6:30 p.m. - 9:30 p.m.
     "The purpose of the Sacraments is to make people holy, to build up the Body of Christ, and, finally, to give worship to God; but being signs that also have a teaching function.  They not only presuppose faith, but by words and objects they also nourish, strengthen, and express it; that is why they are called 'sacraments of faith.'  They do indeed impart grace, but, in addition, the very act of celebrating them disposes the faith most effectively to receive this grace in a fruitful manner, to worship God rightly, and to practice charity.
     It is therefore of the highest importance that the faithful should readily understand the sacramental signs and should with great eagerness frequent those sacraments that were instituted to nourish the Christian life." (Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, #59)
     This course will examine the seven Catholic Sacraments as specific encounters with the great mystery that is God, whose saving presence and action break into our lives through our experiences of the Paschal Mystery of Christ, in the Holy Spirit.  As liturgical celebrations of Christ's Body, the Church, the Sacraments not only express our faith in God's love and presence (what we refer to as "grace"), but also, byt heir very celebration, bring us into an encounter with God's grace and work to form and shape us more and more into the image of his beloved Son, Jesus Christ, an image first bestowed upon us in baptism.
    An exploration of the liturgical rites, sracramental signs and symbols, and the language of ritual action, movement and gesture will be the key to this study.
