EVANGELIUM VITAE (THE GOSPEL OF LIFE) Pasquale Giordano, SJ
M 2:30 – 4:30 pm

This seminar will focus on the bio-ethical and social issues addressed by John Paul II in his encyclical letter, Evangelium vitae, 1995, as well as by Joseph Cardinal Bernardin in his Consistent Ethics of Life (Kansas City: Sheed & Ward, 1988). There will also be a careful study of the papers presented on Choosing Life: Dialogue on Evangelium vitae, edited by Kevin Wm. Wildes, S.J., and Allan C. Mitchell, Washington, D.C.: Georgetown University Press, 1997). The course will begin with a discussion of Evangelizing Presence: Caring for Life by Nancy Russell Catan, Pascuale T. Giordano, S.J.,a nd Mitos Rivera. An effort will be made to situate the discussion in the Philippine context.

Prerequisite: Fundamental Moral Theology
