Overview

鈥淭heology,鈥 writes theologian Patrick Granfield in the introduction to his book, Theologians at Work, 鈥渋s the questing, probing, and searching of the Word of God; it is a rational effort, guided by faith, that attempts to penetrate the message of God.鈥 You might think that Theology is the study of the Christian faith alone. Not so. Although liguisitically "Theology" is Western-rooted (the Greek theos means 鈥済od鈥), the term can be applied to the study of all world religions.


As a Theology major, you鈥檒l explore how, according to the Encyclopedia Britannica, 鈥渢he believer understands his faith鈥 or how 鈥渁 religion鈥檚 practitioners understand their religion.鈥 You鈥檒l examine the ways in which these believers and practitioners define, defend, and verify various elements of their religious doctrine. You鈥檒l attempt to find a place for religious beliefs among the realms of science, history, and logic.


鈥淭heology deals with great words,鈥 writes Granfield, words like 鈥渓ove,鈥 鈥渇atherhood,鈥 鈥渕otherhood,鈥 鈥渏ustice,鈥 and others that describe issues of universal importance no matter what one鈥檚 religion is. Your Theology major will involve you in an array of other disciplines, including history, philosophy, literature, international studies, anthropology, cosmology, ethics, science, and languages. This field of study is so variegated, in fact, that the Encyclopedia Britannica considers it 鈥渁 microcosmic image of the university.鈥
