Systematic and Philosophical TheologyA concentration in Systematic and Philosophical Theology engages in the ongoing task of interpreting the Christian faith in response to our modern and emerging post-modern culture.
Students and faculty at the Graduate Theological Union (GTU) analyze the ancient biblical faith and its ongoing re-interpretations in Christian tradition, tracing its influence on the history of ideas, examining its philosophical underpinnings and implications, and critically engaging its various contemporary re-conceptualizations. At the Dominican School of Philosophy and Theology (DSPT), emphasis is given to the need for theology to be pursued in its traditional Roman Catholic -- and particularly Thomistic -- roots, as well as in an ecumenical spirit, with increased attention to cross-cultural dimensions of understanding. More information is available at the GTU website. Students with an interest in theology and science will find the resources of the GTU, including the Center for Theology and Natural Sciences (CTNS), to be invaluable in their study.
