Overview

Theology is "faith seeking understanding." It is a faithful listening to and a systematic, methodical articulation of the message of the Word of God. This Word was first revealed to Israel and then it was revealed in the person of Jesus Christ, himself both the mediator and sum total of Revelation, the word of God. This "dei verbum" is transmitted in the living tradition of the Church.

Admittedly, the Western civilization cannot be properly understood without some knowledge of Christianity, which is both a basis and an integral part of our cultural heritage. The study of Theology at University of Dallas, however, is much more than an essential discipline in the liberal arts education; it has a higher and more comprehensive aim.

Theology Department Mission and Identity

We offer an intellectually rigorous Catholicism: "always have your answer ready for the people who ask you the reason for the hope within" (I pt 3:15). Our task is not primarily a catechetical one, but a theological one.
Our mission is the recovery and renewal of the Catholic theological tradition in harmony with the Magisterium and in dialogue with contemporary thought. Since we know who we are, we are especially capable of dealing with the profound questions of modern and contemporary thought.
We integrate the four fields of theology: Scripture, History of Christian Doctrine, Systematic Theology, and Moral Theology. We treat all topics of these four fields within the living Catholic faith.
We read Scripture, and classic writings from Athanasius, Augustine, Aquinas, Newman, de Lubac, and theological writings from classic thinkers such as John Paul II. In the "UD Core spirit" we focus on original texts.
We are and continually strive to be scripturally and historically rooted, philosophically astute, ecumenical and faithful to Catholic teaching.
