Faith Seeking Understanding
At the University of Dallas, theology is the study of the Mystery of God and of His
marvelous works, especially Jesus Christ. The journey takes root in close readings
of the Sacred Scriptures and involves discipleship of paths trod by great doctors
of the Catholic Tradition, such as Thomas Aquinas, Augustine of Hippo, Gregory Nazianzus,
John Henry Newman, et al. We also study the works of recent masters, such as Pope
John Paul II, Henri de Lubac, Garrigou-Lagrange, Pope Benedict XVI, et al.
Our desire to contemplate divine truth leads us also to grapple with difficult questions
and to engage the best critics of the Catholic faith. Thus, we aim to achieve mature
appreciation of Catholic truth as the deepest and most resilient answer to man’s hunger
to know who he is and why he exists. We foster habits of careful reading, mastery
of essential principles, perusal of ideas, reasoned argument, and written and oral
expression. Such habits serve our alumni above all in the pursuit of sacred wisdom
but also in professional and practical life.
