St Paul Seminary School of Divinity MAT students:
Language proficiency practice texts http://www.stthomas.edu/libraries/ireland/Readings.html
Selections from French, German, Latin, and Spanish theologians, for use by MAT students in preparing for the language proficiency examination, are now on the Ireland Library web site.
You will need your UST username (NetId) and personal password to access the modern texts (the Latin texts are directly linked)
According to MAT program director, Dr John Martens, it is possible that extra practice readings could be added to this list. If working on a particular theologian, ancient or modern, or a particular ancient language, such as Greek or Hebrew, the examination can be tailored to specific areas of concentration or research, say von Balthasar in German, or the New Testament in Greek, etc.
Note too that it is possible to be tested in another language of significant importance in your studies, such as Italian, or Russian.
Ireland Library has not been supplied with the English translations of these texts and posts only the original language versions (German, French, Spanish and Latin). Of course, it is not difficult to find translations of these well known works. You can also contact Dr Martens for English translations.
