The Course provides basic knowledge of catholic eschatology in its historical and theoretical perspective. It is based on reflection about the aim of creation in the God᾽s plan of salvation: it is in advance set „telos“ and „eschaton“. It is thinkable only from the revelation of the Triune in Jesus Christ; that is why the heavenly Church as a God᾽s completed kingdom is also the final form of the creation. It must though lay aside everything what sets it into dramatical contraditiction in relation to God (death as an absence of relations) and step by step reach the full community with him (divinization). This process of transformation or taking similarity with Christ in Glory follows steps: justification – pardon – conversion, death as an encounter with the fire of God᾽s judgment in Jesus Christ – permeation of human self- in -relation (soul) by the Spirit of God – the maximal evidence of this divinization through the physical resurrection in Christ᾽s parusia. Dark alternative of this proces presents the maximal evidence of self exclusion from God᾽s proximity: the hell.

The lecturer provides consultations in Italian and French.

The exam is written. The student must demonstrate a thorough knowledge of the study texts. He/she will prepare an answer to two questions given in the course syllabus. He/she chooses them so that each question comes from a different chapter of the syllabus (example: 1.1, 3.4). Follows the Rules for the Formal Editing of Academic Writing in preparing the answer. The length of each answer: maximum 4 pages excluding the title page. In addition to form, the work with sources and, in particular, the conciseness of the content of the answers will be assessed.

This will be followed by feedback from the tutor and grading. In case of ambiguity, personal consultation and one additional question from the syllabus.
