Bachelor of Arts [B.A] [Catholic Religious Education - Vocational School Teacher] From RWTH Aachen University

The modules in the course address the origin, meaning, and effect of Christian belief within the subsection of history and society. This comprises working with the Bible and beliefs, with the history of Christianity, with the philosophy and the current situation and its ethical dilemmas.

Studies in the course are segregated into four sections:

In Bibilical Theology, Old and New Testament texts are studied using literary analysis and their history of origin and effect will be considered, in order to determine the purpose of the texts in their respective contexts.

In Historical Theology, the development of Christianity is reconstructed, starting with antiquity up to our current situation.

In Systematic Theology, the rational reasoning of Christian belief, its essential content, and ethical consequences are discussed; other religions and cultures and the natural sciences are also considered.

In Practical Theology, the church and social areas of practice of religious behavior are taken into consideration. This particularly includes schools, as this is a teacher training program. These studies are broken down into the four areas.
