Department of Theology

Mission

Prompted by St. Katharine Drexel's prophetic commitment to African American and Native American communities, the Department of Theology enables majors and minors to reflect critically on their historical situations in light of Christian and other faith traditions, to contribute to the promotion of a more just and humane society. In our scholarship, we prioritize critical methods developed within religious, cultural, and intellectual traditions of diverse communities, particularly those of African descent. Our theological approaches advocate for the dignity of all humans and care for the earth, in light of the preferential option for the poor, vulnerable, and marginalized. Students who graduate from our program are prepared to integrate theological reflection into other academic disciplines and all domains of life, as well as discern the practical implications of critical reflection.
