| Marquette Summer Institute in Christian Doctrine For Catholic Elementary School Teachers |
The Marquette Institute in Christian Doctrine aims to provide Catholic elementary school teachers an opportunity to deepen their knowledge of the Catholic tradition and to discuss with fellow teachers better ways and means for communicating the Catholic faith to the children they teach. The two-week Summer Institute is conducted by one of Marquette's theologians. It consists of brief introductory lectures on the cultural and religious circumstances of contemporary American society, on the role of Catholicism and Catholic schools in that environment, and on basic Christian doctrines (God, creation, sin, Christ, salvation, church, sacraments, the resurrection) and their meaning in contemporary culture. Contact Dr. Patrick Carey for information. |
| Luther Studies in a Catholic Context |
| Luther Studies are alive and well in the Theology Department at Marquette University. Under the leadership of professors Mickey Mattox and Markus Wriedt, the department not only offers numerous courses in Luther Studies and Reformation theology, but also sponsors the Colloquium in Reformation Theology, where students and professors are encouraged to share the results of their research. |
| Karl Rahner web
site |
| The Karl Rahner Society includes biographical and bibliographical information about Rahner, information about the society and its membership, convention papers, and links to other sites on Rahner. The Karl Rahner Society was founded in 1991 by American scholars to promote: study of Karl Rahner's writings; publication of critical editions of his works in English; reflection on his thought and on works which carry forward the spirit of Rahner's enterprise, especially in the fields of theology and philosophy; collaboration with other scholarly groups concerned with his work. In these ways, the Society hopes to make a contribution to the ongoing reception and assessment of Karl Rahner in Church and society. |
| Interfacing Theology and the Natural Sciences |
| This site identifies the many
ways in which the relationship between religion and science
are being explored at Marquette University. Among these
are courses taught by a systematic theologian involving Marquette
scientists as lecturers on their disciplines' findings and courses
team-taught with scientists, the Albertus Magnus Circle through
which faculty explore issues at the boundaries of their
various disciplines, the Interdisciplinary Minor in Environmental
Ethics, Earth Day activities, and the endeavors of the Theology
and Ecology Group of the Catholic Theological Society of America.
Also featured is the Haught-Zygon project by Honors Program
students who coordinate articles in Zygon with topics
covered by John F. Haught in Science and Religion: From Conflict
to Conversation. Jame
Schaefer administers the site. |
| Interdisciplinary Minor in Environmental Ethics |
| Marquette University's new
Interdisciplinary Minor in Environmental Ethics (INEE) provides
undergraduate students with the intellectual resources needed
to reflect on the ethical dimensions of environmental issues.
Five core courses develop student knowledge and skills in the
natural sciences and the theological and philosophical traditions
that are relevant to the minor. It culminates in a capstone
seminar during which students will identify the ethical questions
pertaining to a particular environmental problem and develop
approaches to its resolution. When appropriate and feasible,
students serve in private and public organizations, government
agencies and businesses that are addressing the problem. Students
are encouraged to take courses in their primary fields of study
that complement INEE and to draw upon them during their capstone
experiences. It is administered by Jame
Schaefer. |
| Jewish Roots of Eastern Christian Mysticism |
| The interdisciplinary
seminar on the Jewish Roots of Eastern Christian Mysticism is
designed as the internet version of an ongoing research seminar
of graduate students in the Department of Theology. The seminar
is directed by Alexander
Golitzin, a professor of eastern Christian theology. The
seminar started in March 2002 as an attempt to investigate Jewish
mystical traditions in the eastern Christian theological and
liturgical texts. It was thought that the seminar would help
initiate and inspire the discussion about the Jewish influences
on eastern Christian mysticism among a broader audience. If
you have an idea or a theme which can be part of the Jewish
Roots of Eastern Christian Mysticism Project, please contact
the project moderator, Andrei
Orlov. |
| Seminar on Phenomenology and Hermeneutics |
| The Seminar on Phenomenology and Hermeneutics
is an outgrowth of a group which began in 1996 on the initiative
of Dr. Pol Vandevelde and Mr. John Meech in order to read and
discuss the works of Edmund Husserl, the founder of phenomenology.
The group, which continues to investigate central texts in phenomenology
and hermeneutics, has also provided a forum for graduate students
preparing theses in philosophy and theology to present and defend
their ideas. |
| Tommaso d'Aquino Newsletter and RSS feed web site |
| This site gathers and distributes
information about the academic study of St. Thomas Aquinas (a.d.
1225-1274), the Italian Dominican Saint. It is published by
Mark Johnson. |
