Sedes Sapientiae, ora pro nobis!
Thank you for visiting the Â鶹´«Ã½¸²Ãð¼Ç website in order to learn more about our B.A. in theology. Â鶹´«Ã½¸²Ãð¼Çis committed to the renewal and deepening of genuinely Catholic spiritual, intellectual, and cultural life. To choose a theology major is to embark on an exacting and exciting venture to deepen both one’s contemplative union with the Triune God and one’s understanding of the great truths of the Catholic faith.
To study theology challenges us to open our minds and hearts to Jesus Christ, the one Teacher who illuminates everything by his very being as the Word of the Father in the Holy Spirit. To study Catholic theology is to realize that the Word Incarnate and the Holy Spirit inspired Sacred Scripture and continue to guide the Magisterium of the Church, whose Tradition directs us as we reach up to the great minds and hearts of the many saints and scholars who over the millennia have contributed to the quest for genuine holiness, wisdom, science, scholarship, and art.
If you decide to become a theology major at AMU, it is their lives and writings that you will study. Fidelity to Catholic truth demands more—not less—commitment to deepening and broadening one’s intelligence to appreciate the unity of theological and philosophical wisdom, too often forgotten in the many specializations and fragmentations of contemporary academic culture. Our program emphasizes a contemplative pattern of study that initiates students into the great tradition of speculative wisdom, with its unifying theoretical vision of the whole of God’s creative and redemptive presence.
