Theology

The Faculty’s overarching research theme is entitled Oikodome – Life in its fullness. In order to combine interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary perspectives, the theme is approached from three cluster perspectives: the so-called basics (Old and New Testament Studies), beliefs (Dogmatics and Christian Ethics with Church History and Church Polity), and practices (Science of Religion and Missiology with Practical Theology). Important foci include aspects of social justice, human dignity, reconciliation, moral formation and responsible citizenship.

There are three Centres in the Faculty.
