TRS 368A Christianity and Politics

This course examine the history of Catholic Christianity in relation to the nature of political order. As such, the course places a heavy emphasis on the teaching of popes, councils, and doctores ecclesiae. However, students will also examine alternative accounts of political order and the challenges they have posed to Catholic thought. The course will give special place to the relation of religion and respublica and the right ordering of the common good to the highest good that is God.
