FUNDAMENTAL MORAL THEOLOGY (3 units)
James McTavish, FMVD
Th 9:00 - 12:00 am

This course seeks to give a historical, Christo-centric, inculturated, and pastoral approach to the study of fundamental moral theology. This course will present the historical richness and diversity of the Church’s moral tradition. By tracing the history of the development of the Church’s moral teaching, the course seeks to relate the Church’s on-going moral discernment with the development of the Church’s self-understanding as it journeys through human history.

This course affirms the constant presence and activity of the Holy Spirit among the various members of the church acting as moral co-discerners as they seek to follow the way of Christ. This course will stress that the moral life involves both avoiding evil and doing good.

Through the use of examples and cases, the course will seek to link moral issues addressed by the local church with the teachings of the magisterium. The course will seek to show how the local hierarchy has appropriated and applied the church’s moral teaching. On the pastoral level, students will be encouraged to use what they have learned from the course to discuss and address specific moral issues.

Students are highly encouraged to participate in class discussions and share their experiences and insight regarding contemporary moral issues.

Maximum number of students each section: 40

RESEARCH TECHNIQUES FOR
THEOLOGICAL LIBRARIES (no credit)
James Kroeger

This practicum is designed to assist students in maximizing the use of a theological library, such as that of the Loyola School of Theology (LST). It emerges from the practical, concrete need of students to effectively discover and use theological sources for writing research/synthesis papers, particularly theses and dissertations. Often, important resources are missed and considerable time is wasted, because students are unaware of the library’s resources and they do not know how to systematically do research in a theological library.

This ten-hour “hands-on” practicum/workshop is offered periodically throughout the semester; no credit is given; however, a modest registration fee is asked. Individual professors may prescribe this practicum as a pre-requisite to doing a major paper or writing a thesis. Students who take this workshop should have been enrolled at LST for at least one semester.

The entire practicum will be offered on one weekend: Friday (1:00-4:45 p.m.); Saturday (8:00-12:00 a.m. and 1:00-4:45 p.m.). Each weekend session is limited to twelve students.

SOCIO-HISTORICAL METHOD

INTERPRETATION (3 units)
Fernando Macalinao, SJ
Th 2:00 - 4:40 pm

The elective course, Socio-Historical Method in New Testament Interpretation, can be viewed as contextual exegesis and theologizing. It is both theoretical and practical in approach. Theoretically, it presents a way of understanding some Markan texts that emerged from the concrete situation of Mark's community, using the models in the social sciences (cultural anthropology, sociology, psychology). Practically, it introduces some attempts at contextual theologizing of some Filipino theologians (Jose de Mesa, Leonardo Mercado, Dionisio Miranda, etc.) The overall aim is to open an avenue through which LST students can exercise contextual exegesis and eventually eisegesis based on the realities in Filipino culture (kapwa, malasakit, awa, kagandahang-loob, tiwala, pananalig, tanda, etc.)

NEW SUPPORT FOR A CATHOLIC HOLISTIC
SCRIPTURE STUDY (3 units)
Joseph Roche, SJ & Lucille Natividad, PhD
M 2:00 - 4:40 pm

This course investigates a holistic Catholic study and use of Scripture, as recently stressed by the Synod Message on the Word of God, Oct.’08, and Benedict XVI’s address to the Pontifical Biblical Commission, Apr.23, ’09. Catholic exegetes are to perceive the Word of God within the Faith of the Church, to nourish the faith and to guide the life of charity. This brings out the spiritual senses’ importance in the study and use of Scripture in religious and theological education, especially when using the newly developed discipline called “Practical Theology,” as theological base.

Fundamental theology endeavors to study the founda- tional reality of Christianity and theology, which is the revelation of God in Jesus Christ. This revelation seeks a response of faith from the human addressee. (This is the subject matter of Theo 205).

This present course, also included in fundamental theology, deals with the transmission of revelation through the ages, that is, Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition, as well as its authoritative proposition and interpretation through the Church's Magisterium. Hence, the three constitutive parts of this course will be concerned with giving a theological description and dogmatic explanation of, respectively, Scripture, Tradition and Magisterium.

Prerequisite: Theo 205 Revelation and Faith

INTRODUCING THEOLOGIES
OF MIGRATION (3 units)
Emmanuel de Guzman, PhD
Th 2:00 - 4:40 pm

The course focuses on methodological approaches in doing a theology of migration. It begins with anthropological-sociological perspectives to understanding the migrants' experiences, and then deals with samples of attempts at doing systematic theologies from the migrants' contexts. The students will participate in the construction of theologies for and with the migrants.

THEOLOGICAL ANTHROPOLOGY II:
GRACE (3 units)
Joaquin Yap, DPhil
W 9:00 - 9:50 am
F 10:10 - 12:00 nn

Stephen Duffy observes that the theology of grace "addresses axial questions: what it means to be a human person, how God is experienced by humans, and how God and humans and their history are interrelated and made one in Christ."

This course consists of a systematic doctrinal investigation of the mystery of "life in Christ," and the pastoral implications and reflections arising from this graced reality. Beginning with the scriptural understanding of grace, the study traces the major controversies in Christian tradition: Pelagianism-Semipelagianism-Augustinianism; the Reformation and its heirs--the response of Trent. Special attention will be given to articulating the necessary balance between divine grace and human freedom, and to exploring the richness of the patristic doctrine (preserved in the Eastern churches) of deification (theosis). In attempting to do a contemporary and contextualized theology of grace, the course will consider the question of the presence and action of grace in other (especially Asian) religions.

Maximum number of students: 20
