THE 202 is focused around a critical assessment of contemporary trends in Catholic Theology. Students will be introduced to the Modernist crisis of the late Nineteenth Century, the changing approaches to theology under the influence of existentialist philosophy, the trend to ressourcement and the la nouvelle théologie. An historical and theological introduction to the Second Vatican Council follows, as well as a survey of the various responses to this paradigm shift in Catholic Theology and practice.
