Remarkably missing many works of Christian theology... No St. Augustine, Aquinas, St. John of Chrysostom, Calvin, etc.

Yes, it's missing crucial works like Cur Deus Homo and On the Incarnation by St Athanasius as well as some of the ones you mention, but I think some of those are in the curriculum if you look a little harder. One needn't be a Christian to benefit from such works; they are foundational to Western civilisation.

Confessions is on the program Sophomore year, as are excerpts from Summa Theologica. I vaguely remember one of the differences between the campuses being that Annapolis students read some Calvin and Santa Fe students read something else, but I don't remember what it was.

Augustine, Aquinas, and Anselm are all on the list. Most of Sophomore year is spent reading late antique and medieval Christian writings.
