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.

In evidenza

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.

On Thursday, October 24, 2024 (9:00 am, Aula Magna Giovanni Paolo II), the 2024 Doctoral Students' Day was held at the initiative of the four Schools. After the opening remarks, prof. Jaime Nubiola, emeritus professor of Philosophy at the University of Navarra, gave a lectio magistralis entitled The Intellectual Life of a PhD Student: Reading, Thinking, Writing.

Two round tables followed. One on The First Steps of the PhD, coordinated by profs. José María Díaz, Kenny Ang, and Jaime Moya, and the other on The Thesis Writing Process, coordinated by profs. Gema Bellido, Gonzalo de la Morena, and Claudio Tagliapietra.
