In a Catholic liberal arts college, the study of theology occupies an essential position in the core curriculum. Generally speaking, theological inquiry seeks an understanding of the mystery of God and of the human condition. Specifically, the task of Christian theology is to express meaningfully the revelation of Jesus, and to examine and explain the faith of the Christian community in its historical and contemporary context. Theology is equally concerned with the practical implications of living a life of faith, particularly in its moral, spiritual, and liturgical dimensions. Students majoring in Theology complete 12 courses in Theology. These include Theology 10, 13, 15, 23 or 24, 28, and one additional course in each of the following areas: Old or New Testament, systematic theology, and theological ethics. The remaining courses are electives, one of which must be in seminar format. If the theology major takes two semesters of a same modern foreign language beyond elementary work, then two of these electives may be fulfilled by a traditional ancient/biblical language. The successful completion of a comprehensive examination is also required of theology majors.
