General Information
| Course Type | On Campus |
| Course Category | R01 Sacred Scripture |
| Description | Teaching Objective: This course makes its own the fundamental objective indicated in the Apostolic Constitution Sapientia Christiana Article 67: “The study of Sacred Scripture is, as it were, the soul of Sacred Theology, which rests upon the written Word of God together with living Tradition, as its perpetual foundation. The individual theological disciplines are to be taught in such a way […] that all the disciplines converge in a profound understanding of the mystery of Christ, so that this can be announced with greater effectiveness to the People of God and to all nations.” This course also makes its own the more particular objective given in Article 50 of the Norms of Application of the same Constitution: “The students are to be led to a deep grasp of the material, at the same time as they are led to form a personal synthesis, to acquire a mastery of the method of scientific research, and thus to become able to explain sacred doctrine appropriately”. This course on St. Paul’s Early and Central Letters is specially suited to achieve the above objectives inasmuch as it includes Paul’s great theological synthesis in Romans and pays attention to exegetical methodology of New Testament Letters. Teaching Content: An introduction to St. Paul and his Letters will touch upon the literary form ‘Apostolic Letter’, the groundlessness of the pseudo-epigraphic hypothesis, the chronology of St. Paul’s life, and the Hebrew-Aramaic-Greek-Latin cultural background of St. Paul. Then, giving pride of place to each Letter’s structure and content, St. Paul’s Early and Central Letters will be studied in this order Galatians, 1 Thessalonians, 2 Thessalonians, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, Romans.
