THE 774 Modern Theology
This course provides an overview of Modern Theologians and their contributions to the theological tradition. Topics may include neo-scholasticism and Ressourcement; the relationship between theology and modern philosophical movements; theology during the Second Vatican Council; and post-Conciliar developments (e.g. Communio and Concilium; hermeneutics of continuity, rupture, and reform; etc.); and the contributions of modern theologians to core Christian doctrines. Priority will be given to a selection of primary texts drawn from key modern figures, such as Réginald Garrigou-Lagrange, Henri de Lubac, Hans Urs von Balthasar, Joseph Ratzinger, and Karl Rahner.
