HT500: THE CHURCH’S UNDERSTANDING OF GOD AND CHRIST IN ITS HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT (4 Units: 160 hours). Katherine H. Lee Ahn.


DESCRIPTION: HT500 is a survey of patristic theology and early church history that focuses especially on the doctrine of God, including the Christian church’s development of trinitarian and christological theology and creeds in its dialogue with its opponents and with its multiple cultural contexts, including the empires, languages, religions, and philosophies of the ancient Asian, African and European regions. Related topics and themes to be addressed may include the role of the apostolic fathers and apologists, the controversy with Gnosticism, tensions between Eastern and Western forms of Christianity, and selected doctrinal developments that extend through the Protestant Reformation to today. HT500 은초대교회사와교부신학을개관하는과정으로서, 특별히하나님에대한신학에대해촛점을두고수업하는과정이다. 고대아시아, 아프리카, 유럽지역내의제국, 언어, 종교, 철학등을포함한다양한문화적상황과기독교에대한반대세력들과의대화와교류속에서기독교교회내에서발전한삼위일체론, 기독론, 교리등에대해논의하게된다. 관련된토픽과주제들로서속사도들과변증자들, 영지주의논란, 동서기독교전통사이의관계긴장외개신교종교개혁을넘어오늘까지영향을미치는중요교리발전등에대해논하게된다.
