The field of theology addresses the existential questions that often remain untouched by other disciplines. It presents a unique challenge, encouraging individuals to critically examine their own values and cultivate well-founded ideological and ethical viewpoints. The subject acknowledges a fundamental human need: the inclination to believe.
Much like philosophy, scientific theology engages with Kant’s renowned four questions: What can I know? What may I hope? What am I to do? What is man? These inquiries are explored in conjunction with the textual material of the Bible and Christian tradition, which encompasses insights spanning nearly 3000 years. This exploration delves into the tradition’s content from both literary-scientific-exegetical and philosophical-argumentative perspectives, while considering historical contexts and contemporary relevance. At the Institute of Catholic Theology, we regard the biblical and Christian tradition as a valuable resource that can hold significance within ecclesiastical-Christian, religious-pluralistic, and secular contexts. It serves as a foundation for contemplating the contemporary human experience and seeking guidance for personal and societal actions.
The program commences with a methodological and content-based introduction to the four key areas of Catholic theology: biblical, systematic, historical, and practical theology. This is followed by in-depth studies in two selected areas of specialization chosen by the student. Furthermore, an interdisciplinary and interreligious module provides additional depth.
Admission prerequisites for the Bachelor of Catholic Theology as a minor subject involve enrollment in a Bachelor of Arts major subject. The program starts in the winter semester each year, with the possibility of beginning in the summer semester as needed. The Institute of Catholic Theology at Hessen International University is recognized for its welcoming and accessible environment, fostering a close-knit atmosphere and offering dedicated support from the teaching faculty.
