Week 6 - Conclusion

For our last class on Christology, knowing full well that we can still entertain  christological questions in the next section, I would like to proceed in this manner:

• Prayer - John 1 : 35-51
• Power Point (brief)
• Discussion of the following:

Bonhoeffer's Jesus Christ and the Essence of                    Christianity"

Johnson's God and the Cross

Jean Vanier's Vision of Jesus

Lastly,

 I would like to share with you Richard Rohr's "Cosmic Christ" interview that can be found here:

Week 5 - "And now for something completely different..."

Chapter 4 - Further Christological Beliefs

We will explore the historical and theological movements  (as well as advancements in art and architecture) that influence the way we look at Jesus, faith and the Church universal.
