Doctor's degree Systematic and Philosophical Theology - Graduate Theological Union

Doctor's degree Systematic and Philosophical Theology from Graduate Theological Union is a Campus Ph.D Religious Studies degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. Theology students develop solid grounding in a specific theological discipline while integrating dimensions of university-based study into their theological curricula. Students may choose to pursue (1) a theologically oriented program taking into account issues raised by the university disciplines, (2) a philosophically oriented program concentrating on cross-disciplinary issues coordinated with suitable work at the University of California, (3) a theological program oriented toward the natural sciences using the Center for Theology and the Natural Sciences as a major resource, (4) a theological program with an interdisciplinary component involving the establishment of a foundation of credentials in another GTU Doctoral Area designated as an ?allied field.? Objectives The principal objective of the Area is to educate doctoral students for scholarly research and teaching. The primary focus of theology in the program is to interpret the Christian faith, in the context of the ecumenical and inter-religious consortium of the Graduate Theological Union , in response to the challenges posed by contemporary cultures. Students and faculty analyze this faith by tracing its influence on the history of ideas, its traditional reformulations, and its various contemporary re-conceptualizations. Special attention is given to Protestant and Roman Catholic theology since the end of World War I in light of the historical sources with a view toward constructive thought in the twenty-first century.
