Introduction
The course on Theological Anthropology and Eschatology aims for students to have an integrated view of Christian anthropology based on Sacred Scripture, tradition, the interventions of the Magisterium, and theological reflection, understanding its importance within theological discourse. The content and perspective of the course are inspired by a phrase from number 282 of the Catechism of the Catholic Church: “The two questions, that of the origin and that of the end, are inseparable. They are decisive for the meaning and orientation of our lives and actions” (CCC, 282). It has three parts: 1) CREATION IN GENERAL: a synthetic and systematic study starting from the sources and theological reflection. 2) THEOLOGICAL ANTHROPOLOGY: the Christian view of man in general; Image and likeness of God; corpore et anima unus; man and woman; the original state and original sin. Grace: the supernatural vocation of man and life in Christ. 3) ESCHATOLOGY: context; the mystery of death; intermediate eschatology and purgatory; the parousia; the resurrection of the dead; the last judgment; eternal death and eternal life. The methodology is geared towards learning by combining the presentation of topics by the teacher with in-depth theological dialogue with students and engagement with some significant sources in the field of theological anthropology and eschatology.
