“Gratitude is the Aroma of the Heart”

Theological discipline and study are based on Christian Revelation in the doctrine of the Blessed Trinity. Theological research, exposition, faith, catechesis is ancient and new. Christian theology, centred on revelation, reached its climax in the incarnation of the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity – Jesus Christ – who in the Paschal Mystery sealed and obtained the salvation of humanity by his death and resurrection. In the undergraduate theological study, Theology, which really means the Scientific study of God is a discipline open to a baptize Christian and any other person interested in its subject-matter – seeking the Truth of Christian Revelation. What lies as its basic curriculum and is, its core value, is captured in its quest in investigative, analytical, discursive and exploration of truth reveal by God. Thus, in the Faculty of Theology we operate two streams of undergraduate studies – namely: Bachelors of Sacred Theology (B.S.T) and/or Bachelors of Arts in Christian of Theology (B.A). We emphasize our study in theological concepts that are principally centred on three major areas: Biblical, Dogmatic and Moral Theology, inclusive, auxiliary courses that are mostly inter-departmental or inter Faculty.

In Veritas University, Bwari, Abuja, the Theology programmes are well designed to reflect basic and core Christian values, enunciated by scholarly excellence in research that will bequeath deeper and illuminative knowledge to the student in the 21st century. The Faculty has rich literature based on current researches and the extensive coverage of themes from Sacred Scriptures (including thorough study of Biblical Languages: Greek, Hebrew and Latin); foundational Magisterial analysis; elaborate pedagogy on Moral and ethical issues; a classic treatment of Pastoral Catechesis and Counseling; exploring the dynamic nature of Liturgy in the 21st century. The Faculty equally has detailed coverage and study of Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism and the relevance of African Traditional and Asian Religions. Since, Philosophy is the handmaid of Theology, the Faculty has a preliminary coverage of philosophical courses, and a holistic treatment of General Studies (GST) courses.
