This unit explores fundamental issues that require critical attention when doing theology. The unit examines the nature of divine revelation and Christian faith, and that faith's normative expression in Scripture and tradition. It considers theology's necessary focus on the diverse ways contemporary Christians understand and live out their faith in different contexts, as well as theology's relationship with the church's teaching authority (the magisterium). The unit also examines theology's relationship to other disciplines such as philosophy and sociology, and the diversity of theological methods employed by theologians today.
