Systematic Theology
Part 2: Theological cosmology and
anthropology
Cosmology traces developments in the
mythological and natural-scientific study of the
universe in its complex history. This course will
investigate these developments as they have been
interpreted and received from biblical, theological,
philosophical and natural science perspectives. The
second part of the course will focus on theological
anthropologies under several themes – imago Dei,
freedom and sin, and the human responsibility for
all creation – illustrated by case studies from the
natural, social and environmental sciences.

Theological Ethics
Part 1: Christianity and society
This course investigates the interaction of
philosophical and theological approaches in
social ethics by analysing current concepts and
theories of justice (those of John Rawls, Jürgen
Habermas and Paul Ricoeur) and their
philosophical and theological critiques. The aim is
to be able to distinguish different understandings
of justice, the common good, human rights, and
recognition that have arisen in modernity and are
now debated in a multicultural global society.
