Brother Adam Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Wow. I had my first class today. I think I'm going to love it. It's what I've been looking for in theology classes, even though it is extremely difficult, so I"ve been told. We are studying scripture and the early fathers and councils the whole way, especially the forth and fifth century as well as reading Cardinal Schoenborn. Oh yeah.

I'm talking Intro to Catholic Morality this semester. So I can't take Catholic Sexual Morality (where they read ToftheB) until next year!!! I shouldn't complain, I've got rockin' classes this semester. : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pio Nono Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 JMJ 1/16 - Second Sunday What text are you using for Christology? We're (thankfully) using a good one - [i]Jesus Christ: Principles of Christology[/i] by Roch Kereszty. I feel as if I will have to teach myself, so I need other sources to read besides him. Ideas?

Myles Domini Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 I had my first lectures in post Nicene Christology today. We did a little of the preliminaries refreshing last terms work from Tertullian, Hippolytus, Clement of Alexandrian and Origen (which was really handy cos I missed most of the lecture, LOL : ) and then went on to Marcellus, Eusebius, and a few other faces. It was quite interesting actually I enjoyed it. I like St Cyril of Alexandria's 2nd letter to Nestorius and his letter to John of Antioch. Those Alexandrians were awesome...
