THEO 40217: Jews and Christians Throughout History

 
Nostra Aetate Lecture Questions

"What is the problem in Jewish Christian relations?"

I would like you to think about the following questions as you prepare for our discussion.

  1. What view of the Church, Truth and World emerges from the 'syllabus of errors'?
  2. What view of 'modernity' does the 'syllabus of errors?' in Vatican I convey?
  3. How does Nostra Aetate fit into the larger themes of II Vatican Council? [This would be a question for those of you with appropriate backgrounds] What other documents of the Council might shed light on Nostra Aetate?
  4. What view does Nostra Aetate take on non-Christian religions? animism? Buddhism? Islam? Hinduism? Buddhism?
  5. What are the most important themes of N.A. 4? What previous teachings of the Church do they correct?

If we can get through these questions we will have set ourselves up nicely to begin the historical issues.
