Introduction to the Program

Un programa exhaustivo y 100% online, exclusivo de TECH y con una perspectiva internacional respaldada por nuestra afiliación con la North American Association for the Study of Religion” 

El sacramento, por su realidad simbólica o representativa, es una vía de comunicación con Dios que incorpora numerosas facetas de simbolización de gran trascendencia para entender la realidad religiosa de la Iglesia Católica. Esta realidad es en la que reside la trasmisión de la realidad redentora de Cristo, y se configura por ello en la base del dogma cristiano.

En esta Postgraduate diploma, el alumno conocerá los ritmos temporales y los espacios celebrativos de la liturgia cristiana, lo que le permitirá evidenciar el anclaje antropológico de los ritmos temporales y espacios celebrativos de la liturgia cristiana y tener una consideración específica sobre la naturaleza y la importancia del arte en la liturgia.

Con un desarrollo centrado en la comprensión global de esta materia, se entenderá el contexto cultural actual sobre las creencias y teorías científicas acerca de la creación y el inicio de la vida, podrá fundamentar teológicamente la visión creyente sobre la acción creadora de Dios, sobre la visión cristiana del hombre y sobre el misterio del pecado, dialogar con visiones cosmológicas y antropológicas contemporáneas. Otra de las áreas sobre las que este Experto trabajará, son las características teológicas de la búsqueda del bien común, para contribuir a la promoción de un clima de justicia y paz en la sociedad. Además, podrá conocer la tradición bíblica, teológica y magisterial para orientarnos a comprender la realidad social a la luz de la fe y debatir de modo argumentativo sobre las diversas formas de organización social.

Asimismo, gracias a que TECH es miembro de la North American Association for the Study of Religion (NAASR), el profesional podrá acceder a planes de clase, guías temáticas y materiales para la enseñanza de la Religión.
