THE 611 Vatican II: History & Reception
This course looks at the developments leading to the Second Vatican Council, floor debates, and drafting of Church documents. The themes emerging from Vatican II are closely considered in order to understand the reception of conciliar teachings. In addition, an in-depth examination of the four constitutions allows students to further research other conciliar decrees and declarations by tracing common theological perspectives and ongoing debates. Classes may be taught in an in-class, hybrid, or online format and have set times that require virtual participation. (May be taught concurrently with THE 213)
