Learning outcomes
|
The aim of this course, designed as the II. part of the Fundamental Theology, is to introduce students into the fundamental-theological overview of the reality of christian communities`s life; this course will deep student`s understanding of the Church existence as a sacramental "presence" of the (personal) "absence" of the Christ on the Church history. In accordance with the method of "ecclesiology of below" the phenomenon of the Church is studied as a reality developing from the mystery of the Triune God (ecclesia ex Trinitate) in its historic realization (ecclesia ex hominibus) where its sacramental structure develops the preaching of the Jesus Christ (1 John 1, 1-4).
Students will be able to both understand and "to give the reason for the hope" (comp. 1 Pt 3,15) of the Church reality in the history of salvation.
