The Course presents the unique concept of Revelation and its counterpart. Faith, according to Christian theology. It aims at having an understanding of how the Scripture and the Tradition visualize God’s selfdisclosure. in view of the salvation of man. and how man is expected to respond to it. The course is presented in two sections. The first section deals with the concept of revelation according to both OT and NT. with its historical, experiential, interpersonal and communitarian character, which is followed by the Patristic and scholastic concepts of revelation. It also deals with the different philosophical systems of thought that form the background of the teachings of the Magisterium and highlights the main teachings of Vatican II. The second section of the course presents faith as response to God’s revelation. The biblical foundation and the patristic understanding of faith are presented at first and that is followed by the teachings of the Magisterium. The course ends with a theological synthesis of faith.
