TRS 866G Theology and Christian Unity
The unity of Christians in teaching and practice has been a concern for theologians from the New Testament to today. This seminar will look at considerations of church unity and division from the patristic period until today, with an emphasis on 20th century developments. Works of individual theologians (e.g., Cyprian, J. A. Möhler) and from ecclesiastical and ecumenical sources (e.g., Vatican II, ecumenical dialogues) will be read. Students will do a major research paper on some aspect of the topic.
