Religious Studies

(four credits required)

Religion I

The Revelation of Jesus Christ in Scripture

The purpose of this course is to give students a general knowledge and appreciation of the Sacred Scriptures. Through their study of the Bible they will come to encounter the living Word of God, Jesus Christ. In the course they will learn about the Bible, authored by God through inspiration, and its value to people throughout the world. They will learn how to read the Bible and will become familiar with the major sections of the Bible and the books included in each section.

Who is Jesus Christ?

The purpose of this course is to introduce students to the mystery of Jesus Christ, the living Word of God, the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity. In this course students will understand that Jesus Christ is the ultimate Revelation to us from God. In learning about who he is, the students will also learn who he calls them to be.

Religion II

This course is divided into two semesters, each with a different focus. Both semesters are required.

The Mission of Jesus Christ as it Continues in the Church (The Paschal Mystery)

The purpose of this course is to help students understand all that God has done for us through his Son, Jesus Christ. Through this course of study, students will learn that for all eternity, God has planned for us to share eternal happiness with him, which is accomplished through the redemption Christ won for us. Students will learn that they share in this redemtion only in and through Jesus Christ. They will also be introduced to what it means to be a disciple of Christ and what life as a disciple entails.

In and through the Church they encounter the living Jesus Christ. They will be introduced to the fact that the Church was founded by Christ through the Apostles and is sustained by him through the Holy Spirit. The students will come to know that the Church is the living Body of Christ today. This Body has both divine and human elements. In this course, students will learn about events in the life of the Church as well as the sacred nature of the Church.

Comparative Religions

The goal of this course is to define religion and its expression as found in the world today, in order to better understand people in a multicultural society. In this age of global interaction it is imperative to understand religious orientations. In so doing, we can better understand people, their visions for life, morals, motivations, and indiviudal complexity. The major non-Christian religions of the world will be included in this course.

Religion III

This course is divided into two semesters, each with a different focus. Both semesters are required.

The Literature of the Bible--Old Testament

The study of the Hebrew Scriptures provides one of the major foundations of Western civilization. Students learn to use resources necessary to study Scripture.

"In order to discover the sacred authors' intention, the reader must take into account the conditions of their time and culture, the literary genres in use at that time, and the modes of feeling, speaking and narrating then current. For the fact is that truth is differently presented and expressed in the various types of historical writing, in prophetical and poetical text, and in other forms of literary expressions." (Catechism of the Catholic Church, #110)

The Literature of the Bible--New Testament

The New Testament builds on the foundation of the Old Testament. Students continue to examine the various literary forms found in the New Testament. The four Gospels are studied in relation to their social settings, the audience to whom the Gospels were written and the theme of each Gospel in order to discover the sacred author's intent. The contextualist interpretation of Scripture is continued and developed to help students gain more appreciation and understanding of the Bible.

Religion IV

Seniors are required to take two of the following courses.

Philosophy

This course is a survey of major philosophical issues (e.g., ethics, logic, aesthetics, politics) accomplished by means of the reading, discussion and consideration of primary source texts of the Western tradition. These issues and texts tend to be those constitutive to the Roman Catholic Christian tradition. Oppportunities are provided for the consideration of issues/texts and other "philosophies," religions, and traditions.

Christian Ethics

This course introduces the student to both the normative and applied aspects of ethics. In the first stage, the student learns both secular and Christian principles in approaching morality. The student will learn to grasp the strengths, weaknesses, differences and likenesses between major philosophical systems. Then, Catholic morals are introduced and how they differ in scope when resolving moral dilemmas as well as what challenges they may invoke (i.e., capital punishment, war, abortion, euthanasia, medical research, business integrity, environmental respect and distribution of goods). The course concludes with the presentation of Catholic social justice principles as outlined by Church Encyclicals through the years; and the challenge these principles present to us as people who are part of a global community.

Vocational Life Choices

This course is designed to study the concept of a Christian Vocation including the calling to single, religious, and married lifestyles. It discusses the Church's teaching related to sexuality, marriage, and other vocational choices. Students will integrate the knowledge of the Catholic faith in the development of practical skills for living the Catholic faith in today's world. Special emphasis is given to the study and preparation for understanding marriage and Christian adulthood. Each student is required to spend two days with "Baby Think It Over," a simulated baby used to teach the responsibility of parenthood.
