TRS 864H Theology of Faith-A Systematic Inquiry
The theology of faith is one of the absorbing concerns of Catholic theology in the medieval period and especially in the modern, post-reformation period. By way of considering exemplary accounts of the theology of faith, this doctoral seminar will inquire into the central theological and philosophical issues at stake in the analysis fidei and assess the arguments advanced and solutions proposed. This seminar will begin with classical medieval accounts, focus on two great 19th century accounts around Vatican I's Dei Filius-John Henry Newman and Matthias Joseph Scheeben-attend to some paradigmatic 20th century accounts and end with considering aspects of the present status questions.
