School of Theology

Teologia

In the context of the pluralism of modern cultures, the School of Theology offers a program of formation marked by a strong Christocentrism, an orientation based on the conviction that a deep knowledge of the mystery of Christ is the perennial foundation for the transformation of human beings and the world.

The School’s formative agenda in both the educational and research levels is translated into the following choices of method and content:

  • A presentation of the intrinsic connection between the revealed truths as expression of the mystery of the Trinity and of its communication of love in Christ;
     
  • The mystery of the whole Christ, Head and Body, as the deep foundation of the essentially ecclesial character of any theological reflection–communion with the Church, with her doctrine, tradition, liturgy etc., is a necessary premise to any pursuit of theological knowledge of Revelation;
     
  • The intimate connection between the divinity and humanity of Christ as the light by which one understands the relation between faith and reason, both in theology and in one’s worldview, consequently deepening the meaning of created realities and their autonomy, and giving rise to a spirit of openness to a peaceful encounter with the natural, historical and social sciences;
     
  • The call to holiness, rooted in Baptism, and further diversified according to the various charisms and vocations in the Church, as a background to a more coherent vision of the theological and ethical dimensions of Christian existence.
     
  • Il lavoro della Facoltà si struttura in base ad un Istituto di Liturgia e a cinque Specializzazioni:  Teologia dogmatica, Teologia morale, Teologia spirituale, Teologia biblica e Storia della Chiesa.

The Apostolikì Diakonia of the Greek Orthodox Church, as part of the cultural initiatives promoted jointly with the Catholic Cultural Committee, offers 22 scholarships to Catholic students, clergy, or seminarians, to participate in a summer program in Athens aimed at learning Modern Greek and gaining knowledge of the culture and spirituality of the Greek Orthodox world.

The program will begin on July 7, 2025, and conclude on August 2, 2025. It includes a beginner-level Modern Greek course, specifically designed for the scholarship students, as well as some visits to provide an introduction to the Orthodox world.

The academic community mourns the passing of Prof. Álvaro Granados, former lecturer in Pastoral Theology, Sacramental Theology, and, for several years, Secretary of the ISSR at the Apollinare, who passed away today, Friday, January 24, 2025, after a long battle with illness.

"His kindness and patience throughout his illness will remain a profound example of great faith and hope for the entire academic community," said the University’s Rector, Rev. Prof. Fernando Puig. "We are confident that from Heaven he will continue to pray for the University and for all the people who, over his many years in Rome, came to know and appreciate him as a priest and as a professor."

From Monday, January 20, to Sunday, February 16, 2025, students from all Schools can complete the online evaluation questionnaire for the First Semester Courses.

This is a valuable opportunity to contribute to improving the quality of teaching and education.
