This 3-credit hour course, taught asynchronously by Fr. Joseph Fessio, Th.D., designed for undergraduate students (and available to 11th graders and up), explores the central figure of Biblical revelation, Jesus Christ, in the light of two complementary exegetical approaches: historical-critical method and canonical exegesis. The former focuses on the historical author and his intended meaning within his historical context. The latter focuses on reading the texts within the totality of the one Scripture, and this includes the author's being part of a living community to which God has spoken. The primary texts are Joseph Ratzinger/Pope Benedict's Jesus of Nazareth, Books 1 and 2.

This 3-credit hour course, taught asynchronously by Fr. Joseph Fessio, Th.D., designed for undergraduate students (and available to 11th graders and up), responds to the questions: What is the Liturgy? How did it develop historically? What is its relation to space, time, music, art, and the body? The primary text is Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger's The Spirit of the Liturgy, which will be supplemented by substantive magisterial documents, especially the Second Vatican Council's Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy (Sacrosanctum Concilium), the detailed historical context of which is provided in The Organic Development of the Liturgy by Dom Alcuin Reid.

This 3-credit hour course in theology will take as guide the foundational work of Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, Introduction to Christianity. This text examines the principal elements of the Christian Creed: belief in the triune God, in Jesus Christ, in the Spirit and the Church. It does this making explicit reference to post-Enlightenment skepticism in faith and the supernatural. Orthodoxy by G. K. Chesterton will serve as an apologetic preparation for this: how one man, himself steeped in this post-Enlightenment mentality, was came to accept the Creed.

Course Description and Method: In this course we shall read through an adapted version of A Greek Boy at Home as well as some texts from Luigi Miraglia’s Athenaze series, and we’ll complete the accompanying exercises and use some of the auxiliary materials. Students will hear and use Greek, but may ask questions in English (the professor will then render those questions into simple Greek and respond in the Greek which the students will have learned already). There will be a brief weekly memorization assignment (to be rendered orally or in writing, at the student’s choice), comparable in difficulty to the texts which we shall read.
- This class meets four times a week, Monday through Thursday.
-
Classes are one hour long.
