SYLLABUS

The purpose of this course: This course will examine the liturgies of Christian initiation as they manifest themselves

in various parts of the world throughout history. Attention will be paid to the theological and

cultural factors contributing to the development of these liturgies in the major ritual families.

This study will prepare students to distill from the rites and euchological texts the theological

meaning of Baptism, Confirmation, and the Eucharist as initiatory rites.

General outcomes of this course:

1. Students will gain an understanding of the broad scope of the Church's initiatory

practice and an awareness of the complex evolution of its rites and euchological texts and of their

theological implications.

2. Students will develop a theological understanding of the sacraments of initiation based

on the scriptural, historical, magisterial, and contemporary evidence arrived at by applying the

methods of liturgical research and they will be able to articulate the relationship of this

theological understanding to current liturgical practice.

The structure of this course: The course will consist of lectures and will involve the students in discussions based on

the assigned readings.

Expectations: 1. It is expected that students will have read assigned materials critically so as to be able

to raise questions and to offer informed opinions about their content during class discussions.

2. It is expected that each student will complete the following written assignments:

A. The first will be a short research paper written on a topic related to one or more of the

historical sources discussed in the course. Each student will select a particular issue, ritual unit,

euchological text, or combination of these in a specific historical document or source. The paper

will present the current state of research on the topic and offer some theological observations

about the contribution made therein to the theology of Christian Initiation. The purpose of this

assignment is to assist in some measure the development of outcome number two above. (10

pages (no more, fewer), worth 40% of the final grade – due November 1).

All CUA students should be able to use Latin sources and are expected to supply

footnotes and a bibliography following Turabian’s 7th

edition. A general thesis

description and a bibliography must be approved for each student by September 13.

N.B. – STL and Doctoral students will write 25 pages and use whatever language

abilities they may have. MA students who wish this paper to be counted as one of the

two examples of research in their file will do likewise. These extended papers will be

worth 50% of the final grade and will be due on November 20.

B. The second assignment is a shorter (non-research) paper on a particular element in the

current initiation rites of the student’s Church. The paper will demonstrate what the course’s

historical/theological study has contributed to the student’s understanding of the chosen element.

(4 pages, worth 10% of final grade – due date Dec. 6). Students writing a 25-page research

paper will not do this paper.

CUA academic honesty policy applies to all assignments. Please consult the website.

3. Each student's knowledge of the course content will be examined during final exam

week. (50%)
