TRS 576 Evangelization and Anthropology

This course examines the full complexity of the human person as both the subject and object of evangelization. Drawing from biological, psychological, sociological, and spiritual perspectives, students will explore how a true understanding of human nature informs and shapes the Church's missionary efforts. Attention will be given to the integration of natural and supernatural dimensions of the person, the social nature of belief, and the ways in which culture, identity, and human longing impact the reception of the Gospel. Students will be equipped to evangelize with greater depth, realism, and compassion.

Prerequisite
