Theology Final Exam

1. Summarize Thomas Aquinas’ Summa Theologiae in three succinct sentences. You may use your Bible.

2. St Martin of Tours, Pope Clement VII, and Karl Barth were not contemporaries. Had they known each other, how might the history of the Reformation turned out differently?

3. Define a moral system that satisfies Liberals, Conservatives, Moderates, and the entire population of Rome ca. 3 BCE. Be brief, concise, and specific.

4. Memorize the Bible. Recite in tongues.

5. Imagine that you have stigmata. Would it affect your productivity at work? Would you still be admitted to fine restaurants? Would it be covered by your medical insurance, or should it constitute a pre-existent medical condition?

6. What would it mean to be eternal, co-eternal, and non-existent all at once?

7. St Thomas Aquinas and Augustine of Hippo decide to rob a bank. The note to the teller is 1200 pages long, not counting footnotes, complete with a promise of damnation if the teller does not accept immediate baptism. In the middle of the heist, they engage in an extended debate as to whether or not the money really exists. Are they committing a mortal or a venial sin?

8. Speculate on the current status of salvation history if Abraham had just stayed in Ur.
