WOF 519: The Queen of the Sciences (8 of 12)
Theology is the queen of the sciences. It is not just one science among many but the principal organizing science. If it is taken out of this central organizing place, something else will take its place. In this lesson, Bishop Barron helps us understand why Newman thought theology was of crucial importance in education.
Topics Covered:
- Theology as the queen of the sciences
- Consequences of supplanting theology
- The Liberal Arts
- The Philosophical Habit
- Word on Fire Institute: https://institute.wordonfire.org/
