Paschal Mystery Syllabus

Class Objective: This class will focus on the events in salvation history that lead up to the Paschal Mystery, that is, the passion, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It will continue with the Paschal Mystery itself. The course particularly focuses on what that Mystery means for us today and how we are to respond to it.

Grading: Half of the course points will come from exams over the eight sections of the book (seven chapters and an epilogue). The other half will come from assessment of the student’s reading of the text that may include questions answered in writing at the start of class (generally from the end of chapter study questions), brief quizzes, or short group presentations by the students over the previous night’s reading.

Rules: RESPECT self, others, and teacher.
