I. COURSE TITLE: LIVING THE CHRISTIAN VISION IN THE CONTEMPORARY WORLD (BS-ENTREP)
This course explores the dynamic interaction between Christian faith and the complexities of contemporary global society. Through theological inquiry and
ethical reflection, students will examine how the foundational principles of Christian teachings inform responses to pressing societal issues. Topics include the
Kingdom of God, social justice, human dignity, and ecological stewardship, among others.
Students will critically analyze the challenges and opportunities presented by diverse cultural, social, and political contexts, evaluating the relevance of
Christian values in addressing these issues. The course fosters dialogue and engagement with ethical dilemmas such as poverty, inequality, human rights
violations, and environmental degradation through the lens of Christian ethics.
Practical applications of Christian principles will be explored, empowering students to articulate informed and compassionate responses to moral and social
challenges. Drawing from biblical wisdom, theological insights, and contemporary scholarship, students will develop strategies for promoting justice,
reconciliation, and peace in both local and global communities.
Through rigorous academic inquiry, personal reflection, and collaborative discussion, students will deepen their understanding of what it means to live
authentically as Christians in the contemporary world. Emphasis will be placed on cultivating spiritual resilience, ethical discernment, and effective
communication skills necessary for active participation in shaping a more just and humane society.
