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.

Open Session
Early Christianity in the light of the Dead Sea Scrolls
A conversation between Adolfo Roitman and Joseph Sievers

Thursday 7 November 2024, 15:00-16:30
Aula Magna "Giovanni Paolo II"

The discovery and subsequent publication of the Dead Sea Scrolls is undoubtedly one of the most significant events of the 20th century. How have these manuscripts contributed to our knowledge of the world of Jesus and his first disciples? We will have a conversation between two world-class experts to answer this question.

"It has been widely recognized that, although there were major differences between the Qumran literature and early Christian literature and between the Qumran community and the early Christian community, nevertheless, they were also remarkably similar in theological vocabulary, in some major doctrinal tenets and in several organizational and ritual practices. (…) The better view is that the two are offspring of a common tradition in Judaism, with perhaps some points of direct borrowing" (James C. VanderKam).

From October 28 to November 7, 2024, (at 3:00 PM in Room A307),the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross and the Isaac Abarbanel University Institute (Buenos Aires), the first Jewish university in Latin America, proposed an experience of study and dialogue in Rome.

Open to students from all pontifical universities, this course aimed to explore an emblematic text of the Scriptures - the Decalogue - from the different perspectives of Judaism and Christianity.

The Decalogue, repeated twice within the Torah/Pentateuch, has influenced both traditions' morals, spirituality, theology and doctrine; it is a basis for dialogue between them and contemporary culture.

The lessons were held by professors from Italy, Argentina, and the Holy Land, Jews and Christians; a conversation between the two traditions was encouraged.
