| Paul Connell | Semesters 1 & 2, 2012 Wednesday 10.00am — 1.00pm |
This unit runs for two semesters but is separately coded for each semester to satisfy the requirements of the MCD University of Divinity and DEEWR. Both semesters must be completed (15 points per semester) before results are awarded.
The unit will consist of one year’s work, covering the two semesters. It will deal with the person and work of Jesus Christ and the doctrine of the triune God as founded in the scriptures, and interpreted in the Church’s tradition, both classical and contemporary. Particular attention will be given to the question of the historical Jesus; the New Testament origins of Christology and Trinitarian theology; the Patristic tradition; a theology of the redemptive death and resurrection of Jesus; the question of Jesus as the question about meaning. In the final two weeks of the course, consideration will be given to the exemplar of discipleship of Jesus Christ – Mary, mother of the Lord.
