As St. Paul has been read over the long history of Christian theology, he is perhaps most famous for his doctrine of justification by faith, or if not precisely his doctrine of justification, a doctrine for which his readers assume he is responsible. Justification, one of Martin Luther’s followers memorably said, is “the article by which the church stands or falls.” Whether this is so, it is surely a doctrine over which the church has been arguing for some time. One unhappy but almost inevitable consequence is that Paul’s rich and multi-faceted vision of salvation in Christ is too frequently supposed to be (a certain account of) justification without remainder. In this course, we will consider Paul’s more capacious account of salvation, including but beyond his “doctrine of justification,” in order to revel in the fullness of life granted those united to Christ.

Ever since the publication of Philip Rieff’s The Triumph of the Therapeutic, modernity has been sharply critiqued for the way in which it has placed therapy at the center of the modern project. While sympathetic to Rieff’s critique, this seminar—the first of two on therapeutic theology—nonetheless aims at an articulation of theology as primarily therapeutic in character. This is the first of two courses on therapeutic theology that trace how illness and healing have been conceived philosophically and theologically both in Greek philosophical thought and in the early church. Taking seriously Ephrem the Syrian’s notion of Christ as the “medicine of life,” we will explore the implications of this designation for the diagnosis of our illness as well as for the healing process.

This course introduces students to the theology and practice of catechesis—teaching the Christian faith, primarily to adults. Through inductive study of historical and contemporary catechisms, students will examine the motives, content, and methods of faith teaching, with special attention to today’s cultural climate, where the church’s authority is increasingly limited. The course explores the relationship between catechesis, discipleship, and faith formation, and considers the challenges facing Christian teachers in missionary and congregational contexts. Requirements include readings, discussion, presentations, and a final writing assignment.

Students who enroll in Hybrid-Distance courses meet on Nashotah House’s campus for one week. During that week, students participate in the rhythms of the House. Like entering a monastic community, it can take a few days to begin feeling comfortable with the rhythm. Each day begins and ends with worship in St. Mary’s Chapel. You will also enjoy communal meals with fellow students, faculty and staff for breakfast and lunch during your class session. Some students feel a little disoriented for the first few days because the rhythm is unfamiliar and different from most people’s daily life. By the end of the week, you can expect to feel like you participated in something that was holy and a retreat from the challenges of daily life.
The dates of a Hybrid-Distance course extend beyond the week on campus. When you are not on campus, you may be expected to read, write and submit assignments. You will not be expected to participate in regular Zoom meetings, and your work will primarily be asynchronous.
If you have any questions about the Visiting Student application or the winter term courses, please contact the admissions team at admissions@nashotah.edu.
Current students should register for winter courses in Populi.
