Systematic & Philosophical Theology

The fundamental integration of philosophy and theology.

Overview

This concentration encompasses a systematic approach to the fundamental integration of philosophy and theology. Philosophy and theology are two facets of a single conversation, taking into account both the insights that are discovered by human reason and those that are revealed in Scripture and tradition. At DSPT, theological inquiry is grounded in its traditional – and particularly, Thomistic – Roman Catholic roots.
