Brief Description of Programme

The Programme offers education in the central areas of Christian theology. It aims to bring together an historical and contemporary examination of the theological ideas which have shaped Christian faith and identity: the belief in God as self-communicating Triune mystery; the person of Jesus Christ as the divine Son, the Word made flesh; salvation through his death and God’s self-gift in grace; the religious legacy of Augustine in Western Christianity; the Christian Church’s relationship to Israel. It aims to be an educational resource for those who want to undertake an in-depth study of the beliefs and interpretation of Christian faith.

The Programme is suitable for teachers of Religious Education at secondary level, those engaged in Christian ministry and priesthood and those who want to enrich their understanding of the on-going theological tradition which accompanies Christian faith and life.

As a part-time degree taught in the evening, it enables a wide range of people to undertake serious study of contemporary theology.
