Religious Education 4 is the final course of the Theology Program. The course brings the Theology Program to a close by presenting students with the challenge of participating in the thrust of the Church's vision of social justice in the world and in the Philippines.
The course introduces students to a systematic study of the Church's social commitment from a theological perspective. The course introduces the students to the pastoral cycle as a method of theologizing, as well as focusing on a social and cultural analysis of the Philippine situation in the light of the Second Plenary Council of the the Philippines and Second Vatican Council. through this Catholic social vision, the students are invited to respond to Philippine problems related to business, science and technology, ecology and gender, politics and governance - in accordance with the students' areas of concern and interest. These efforts are hoped to deepen the students' spirituality of social transformation founded on a faith committed to social justice and liberation in the Philippines and world today.
