From the relationship between faith and reason to the development of doctrine, the Church&rsquo;s sacramental life, and the teachings of great theologians such as St. Augustine, St. Anselm, and St. Thomas Aquinas, this course reveals how the Catholic faith engages both the heart and the intellect.</p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 1.15rem; line-height: 1.6;\">Christianity is not merely a philosophy or collection of ideas; it is God's entrance into human history through the Incarnation. Theology seeks to understand this revelation more deeply and to examine its implications for human life, culture, worship, and salvation. By exploring Scripture, Tradition, Church history, and the great theological debates of the ages, students gain a deeper appreciation for the beauty, coherence, and truth of the Catholic Faith.</p>\n<div style=\"background: #fdfcf0; border: 1px solid #d4af37; padding: 1.25rem; margin: 1.5rem 0; border-radius: 4px;\">\n<p style=\"font-size: 1.1rem; color: #870000; margin-bottom: 0.5rem;\"><strong>What This Course Offers:</strong></p>\n<ul style=\"margin: 0; padding-left: 1.25rem; font-size: 1.05rem; line-height: 1.5;\">\n<li><strong>Foundations of Theology:</strong> Learn the meaning of faith, divine revelation, and theological inquiry.</li>\n<li><strong>Faith and Reason:</strong> Discover how Catholic theology harmonizes intellectual inquiry with supernatural belief.</li>\n<li><strong>Historical Perspective:</strong> Explore the development of theology from the early Church through the modern era.</li>\n<li><strong>Structured Homeschool Curriculum:</strong> Includes streaming lectures and a comprehensive course guide.</li>\n</ul>\n</div>\n<ul style=\"margin: 1.5rem 0; padding-left: 1.25rem; font-size: 1.15rem; line-height: 1.6;\">\n<li><strong>Understand Divine Revelation:</strong> Learn how God reveals Himself through Scripture, Tradition, and ultimately in Jesus Christ.</li>\n<li><strong>Explore the Great Mysteries:</strong> Study Christology, Ecclesiology, the Trinity, grace, and the sacraments.</li>\n<li><strong>Learn from the Masters:</strong> Encounter the theological wisdom of St. Augustine, St. Anselm, and St. Thomas Aquinas.</li>\n<li><strong>Examine Faith and Culture:</strong> Understand how theology has shaped Western civilization and Christian life.</li>\n<li><strong>Strengthen Intellectual Formation:</strong> Build a foundation for deeper study of Catholic doctrine and spirituality.</li>\n</ul>\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 1.4rem; margin-top: 2rem;\">From Sacred Scripture</h3>\n<blockquote style=\"font-style: italic; border-left: 4px solid #E2E2E2; background: #fafafa; padding: 1rem; font-size: 1.15rem; margin: 1rem 0;\">&ldquo;And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us.&rdquo;<br /><span style=\"font-size: 1rem; color: #555;\">&mdash; John 1:14</span></blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 1.4rem; margin-top: 2rem;\">Intended Audience</h3>\n<p style=\"font-size: 1.15rem; line-height: 1.6;\">This course is ideal for homeschool families, adult learners, parish study groups, catechists, and anyone seeking a solid introduction to Catholic theology.</p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 1.15rem; line-height: 1.6;\">It is especially valuable for students who wish to understand the relationship between faith and reason, deepen their knowledge of Catholic doctrine, and explore the intellectual tradition of the Church.</p>\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 1.4rem; margin-top: 2rem;\">FAQs</h3>\n<p style=\"font-size: 1.15rem; line-height: 1.6;\"><strong>What is theology?</strong><br />Theology is the disciplined study of God&rsquo;s self-revelation and the truths revealed through Sacred Scripture, Sacred Tradition, and the person of Jesus Christ.</p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 1.15rem; line-height: 1.6;\"><strong>What topics are covered in the course?</strong><br />Students explore faith and reason, Scripture and Tradition, Christology, Ecclesiology, the Trinity, grace, the sacraments, Church history, and eschatology.</p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 1.15rem; line-height: 1.6;\"><strong>What is included in the Homeschooling Set?</strong><br />The Homeschooling Set includes streaming video lectures and a comprehensive Course Guide with lesson plans, quizzes, lecture notes, a final essay, and answer keys.</p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 1.15rem; line-height: 1.6;\"><strong>Is this course suitable for beginners?</strong><br />Yes.

Introduction to Theology

By Dr. Ronald Thomas · Published by TAN Books

Overview

What is theology, and why has the Church called it the "queen of the sciences"? Introduction to Theology provides a clear and engaging exploration of the nature of faith, divine revelation, and the intellectual tradition that has shaped Christian thought for two millennia.

Guided by theologian Dr. Ronald Thomas, students discover theology not merely as an academic discipline, but as the systematic study of God’s self-revelation in Jesus Christ. From the relationship between faith and reason to the development of doctrine, the Church’s sacramental life, and the teachings of great theologians such as St. Augustine, St. Anselm, and St. Thomas Aquinas, this course reveals how the Catholic faith engages both the heart and the intellect.

Christianity is not merely a philosophy or collection of ideas; it is God's entrance into human history through the Incarnation. Theology seeks to understand this revelation more deeply and to examine its implications for human life, culture, worship, and salvation. By exploring Scripture, Tradition, Church history, and the great theological debates of the ages, students gain a deeper appreciation for the beauty, coherence, and truth of the Catholic Faith.

What This Course Offers:

  • Foundations of Theology: Learn the meaning of faith, divine revelation, and theological inquiry.
  • Faith and Reason: Discover how Catholic theology harmonizes intellectual inquiry with supernatural belief.
  • Historical Perspective: Explore the development of theology from the early Church through the modern era.
  • Structured Homeschool Curriculum: Includes streaming lectures and a comprehensive course guide.

  • Examine Faith and Culture: Understand how theology has shaped Western civilization and Christian life.
  • Strengthen Intellectual Formation: Build a foundation for deeper study of Catholic doctrine and spirituality.

From Sacred Scripture

“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us.”
— John 1:14
