TH 673 - Catholic Social Doctrine

(3.00 cr.)

In examining the major documents of the Catholic social tradition (such as Rerum novarum, Quadragesimo Anno, Centesimus annus), the course focuses on the shifting methodologies used in this versant of Church teaching. The interdisciplinary nature (theological, philosophical, sociological) of this canon is examined, as well as the controversies among contemporary theologians in the interpretation and development of this doctrine.
