THEOLOGY COURSES
Fr. Thomas Dowd a priest in Montreal and part-time theology professor at Concordia University in Montreal (Theology Studies) has made two courses of his available on the net, and they are free. Just click the links in his lectures to hear each lecture. There is a Part One and Part Two for each days lecture that you can download to your computer and play on your computer’s Audio Player. It is just like being there. He even makes his required texts available for download as pdf files. All for free.
The course introduces the student to the structure, nature and method of theological studies and the relation of these studies to the other sciences. While the course focuses on Christian theology, it does so in a spirit of ecumenism and inter-faith dialogue. The course does not advocate what should be believed, but provides a survey of the philosophical and historical origins of theology in order that each student might come to a better understanding of the impact theology can have in contemporary society and even in their own lives.

Course 2 - Course Description
Introduction to Roman Catholicism - The Creed
Throughout their history Christians have used creeds to provide a succinct summary and exposition of their doctrine. This course provides an overview of the content of the Apostle’s Creed as understood by the Roman Catholic Church, using the Catechism of the Catholic Church as the main source text.
This course also attempts to show how these various “pieces of the puzzle” fit together to form a consistent whole. Students can expect to not only deepen their knowledge of Christian doctrine, but also see what patterns of life logically flow from that doctrine
