Introduction
Theology is the study of God and His works insofar as God has communicated these truths through Divine Revelation (Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition). Theologians employ reason as illuminated by faith in order better to fathom God’s revelation. They do so in fidelity to the perennial teachings and Magisterium of the Church. More than an essential discipline in the liberal arts, theology has a higher and more comprehensive aim. It fosters an ultimate unity in our understanding and helps us, as no purely human discipline can, to see and fulfill the meaning of human existence. There are four interrelated sub-disciplines in this field: biblical, historical, systematic, and moral. Majors and Graduate Students acquire and practice the theological habitus (skillsets) of thought, argument, and expression concerning the splendor of divine truth.
