THEO 261 - Catholic Social Thought

3 Credit Hours


This course seeks to reveal Catholicism’s long and still developing tradition of social teaching, as it is found in various Church documents and prominent writers. From the earliest social ethics of the Judeo-Christian tradition to Pope Francis’s pastoral letters, students will delve into the Church’s accumulated wisdom on social issues that affect a more humane living and consider our Gospel call to respond. This course will offer a practical theological component as part of the learning experience.
