Bachelor of Arts in Theology
About this programme
The Theology programme is dedicated to the study of Theology and to the practical application of Theological understanding. Theological study is grounded in the scriptures, the sure and solid authority of the Christian faith, and is concerned with expressing this faith in a coherent system of truth. It reflects the understanding of the traditions of the past and shows an awareness of the needs of the present and the future. Further, it sets out to preserve what is genuine within the historic experience, while being open to what may be new in Christ’s spirit.
