THE-608 DOMINICAN SPIRITUALITY
An introduction and overview of the sources and development of Dominican spirituality, this course analyzes the fundamental structures of the spirituality, and surveys its evolution over its 800 year history. Locating the foundations of Dominican spirituality in the life and milieu of St. Dominic and the evangelical and ecclesial movement that he began in the 13th century, this course traces his legacy through the representative persons and events that shape its history. Through the hermeneutical analysis of the primary sources and the study of diverse patterns of historical praxis, dominant themes emerge as characteristic of the whole tradition. Special attention will be given to the contemporary situation of Dominican spirituality.
