TMST 8110 The Mystery of the Trinity

The course will offer the Scriptural sources, the dogmatic development and the works of contemporary theologians that have contributed to the Church's reflection on God, One and Triune, as revealed through the life and praxis of Jesus of Nazareth. This fundamental path will permit us to offer a systematic Trinitarian theology of God as Mystery of salvation and liberation of all.
