This course provides an investigation into religious meaning, focusing on the entry of God’s revelation into history and the human response in faith. It explores the understanding of God and grace as well as the role of philosophical knowledge in theological reflection. As a foundation for this inquiry, the course includes an introduction to key Aristotelian and Thomistic philosophical terms and concepts essential for theological study. The course also examines the nature of dogma and its development, offering a basis for critical and reflective engagement with theological concepts.
