Summer courses 2008,
Session I, June 9 to June 27:
Word of
God and Liturgy,
Deacon Owen Cummings,
2 credits, M-F, 8:25-9:55
The reforms of Vatican II called for greater
consciousness of the importance of the Liturgy of the Word. The biblical
concept "Word of God," theologies of the word in patristic and modern
theologians, and theological dimensions of proclamation are examined.
The various means of biblical interpretation are introduced. Attention
is given to the sacramental nature of the word of God. Liturgical
documents dealing with the place of the lectionary and homiletics are
examined in light of the relationship between word and rite in
sacramental liturgy.
Liturgical
Traditions East and West,
Brian Butcher,
3 credits, M-F, 10:15-12:05
This course provides a comprehensive introduction to
the rites and practices of non-Roman western Christian traditions, and
to the liturgy as celebrated by eastern Christian communities (both
Catholic and Orthodox). Particular attention is given both to
distinctive theological themes within these rites and to the manner in
which the renewal of western Catholic liturgy is occurring today as a
result of contact with the theology and practice of the East.
