Also in Italian!

By the way, I'm also shooting the classes for this course in Dante's idiom (my native language, that is). They are available in the same TV website! Enjoy them (if you can)!

Course Description

Fifteen classes on The conceptual Roots of Christian Faith

Dr. Fulvio Di Blasi, Director of the Thomas International Center

The point of these classes is to focus on some of the main conceptual “tools” that make possible the understanding of Christian Faith. Special attention is given to the way in which Christian philosophy has been “serving” theology (ancilla theologiae) over the last 2000 years, since the Fathers of the Church started to harmonize the message of Jesus Christ with the things we knew already about ourselves and the world. Reason and faith cannot contradict one another. In fact, they help one another, and shed light on the same world. This is the foundation of all Christian intellectual tradition. Without the achievements of Christian philosophy it is impossible even to read the Catechism of the Church, or to properly understand what the Mysteries of the Church are. These classes want to give a taste of this by going together on some key points and chapters of the Catechism.

1. Christian Anthropology: Man’s Capacity for God

2. God Comes to Meet Man: The Divine Plan Revealed

3. The act of Faith and the Motives of Credibility

4. The name of God

5. Jesus, the Trinity, and the Concept of Person

6. Body, Soul, and Resurrection

7. Climbing Jacob's Ladder: The Mystery of the Church

8. The Eucharist

9. Philosophy, Grace, and the Original Sin: What’s Wrong with the World?

10. Final Judgment

11. Moral Conscience, Freedom, and the Natural Law

12. Law and Grace

13. The Commandments

14. Concupiscence

15. Does Nature need Prayer?
