Bibliography
| La théologie comme science exige une étude et une lecture critique de la littérature spécialisée. Il faut donc lire pour approfondir ce qui est enseigné, mais aussi pour connaître différents auteurs et opinions théologiques. Comme on ne peut pas tout connaitre, il faut au moins savoir où trouver ce dont on a éventuellement besoin. Les lectures sont donc une aide pour le cours, mais elles permettent surtout d’avoir un aperçu plus vaste pour vos études théologiques ultérieures. Les titres indiqués dans la bibliographie sur moodle sont tous en français. Il est possible de demander des titres dans d’autres langues. Plusieurs titres sont assortis d’un bref commentaire pour vous orienter. |
