CL 736 Theology of Marriage: Foundations in Theological Anthropology
The primary focus of this course is to explore the unity of the systematic and moral theology of marriage when viewed from its profound anthropological foundations. As such, this course examines the teaching of the Catholic Church on four specific areas in relation to Christian marriage: 1) the human person's creation imago Dei; 2) the effect of sin and concupiscence on the human person; 3) redemption in Christ; and 4) the life of grace and virtue. These four themes coalesce as the theological background from which the student may further integrate and internalize pastoral practice in the teaching of the Church on the Sacrament of Marriage.
