SEM31 - The Trinitarian Theology of St Thomas Aquinas

This course is a penetrating insight into Thomas's Trinitarian Treatise in the Summa Theologiae. While chapter one is concerned with human beings who are made to the image of God on account of their possession of the faculties of intellect and will, chapter two concerns itself with the Trinitarian God to Whose image we are made. It examines what it means to ascribe the capacity for knowing and loving to the triune God.

Pedagogical procedure : 

• The seminary takes place on Moodle, Domuni's distance learning platform (moodle.domuni.eu). Each student logs in independently and works and his/her own pace, according to the established schedule.
