An analysis of the relationship between contemporary thought and transcendence. In the face of what some have called the post-truth era, this module addresses the need for reason in our time, or the very reasonableness of religious belief. The phenomenon of religion in contemporary thought is also studied, as well as the Christian idea of hope in today's secularized world.

What our students say
Faith, a current challenge
"With the classes you put your faith into play, reinterpret it, update it, and put it in the light of the contemporary world."
Intellectually restless people
"Sometimes you have like a dichotomy between Christianity and its universe of ideas and contemporary culture. It seems that they are unconnected realities. And that can't be so: We are contemporary culture."
Great masters
"The category of the professors, their closeness and availability to talk with us inside and outside the classroom... that has been a gift and a great opportunity. Also the discussion with classmates, which continues at lunch, coffee... is very enriching."
Learning in freedom
"It is very motivating, because there is great respect for any opinion and everything that is said. You have total freedom to think what you want, without imposing any ideology on yourself."
Integrating what has been learned
"I appreciate the freedom of the format. It gives you the opportunity to take what's been said in class, integrate it, run it through your filter and then come up with a response to reality that is your own response."
Master's Degree for life
"It has helped me a lot to grow as a person. To develop my own critical thinking and formulate some solid ideas about issues that the real world then presents to me."
What teachers say
Javier Sánchez-Cañizares
"Christianity has always had the need to dialogue with the culture of its time."
Raquel Lázaro
"We seek to avoid simplifications and provide clues for everyone to find their own answers."
Juan Luis Lorda
"Christianity is part of the past, of our roots and of our contemporary culture."
Ricardo Piñero
"Reason and faith merge at the heart of Christian humanism, giving rise to a full understanding of the person."
