Because
of STEP's success the MA
Program in Theology at Notre Dame has asked STEP to assist them
in developing and delivering graduate level theology courses online.
So far STEP has assisted the MA Program in offering eight courses.
The spring 2008 course is listed below. In order to register for
this course, students must first enroll in the University of Notre
Dame Graduate School. For more information, please call Cheron Price
at 574-631-4254. THEO
64602 Catholic Social Teaching The primary goal of this course is to familiarize students with the tradition of Catholic social teaching with a view toward developing skills for critical reading and appropriation of these documents. We will examine papal, conciliar, and episcopal texts from Rerum novarum (1891) up to the present time, identifying operative principles, tracing central theological, ethical, and ecclesial concerns, and locating each document in its proper historical context. We will also hold recurring themes in conversation with the broader theoretical framework of Catholic social thought and relevant secondary literature. Requirements include five analytical papers of four pages each, an integration notebook with two one-page entries per week, and weekly participation in an online discussion board.
