Theology::Veritas University Abuja

Our PHILOSOPHY

The philosophy of the programme agrees with that of Veritas University, Abuja which exists to promote “the highest standards of teaching, research and community service whilst providing a balanced education for the acquisition of knowledge, practical skills and moral rectitude.” The programme offers a holistic learning and a solid formation of students who will become competent in the areas of scientific research and teaching and acquire the theological formation needed for an enlightened pastoral commitment. The academic and intellectual formation and mentoring in theological education propels, prepares and illumines the students with proper skill to engage in analytical, ontological, creative and revolutionary research. The B. A. programme is carefully designed to orient, challenge and task the student to develop a higher passion for seeking the Truth about God based on deposit of FAITH handed on from Apostolic tradition. By following the spirit, charism and passion that guided the Fathers of the Church, the Scholastics, the Reformation Theologians and the Fathers of the Second Vatican Council; all these are valuable and resource materials that reveal the deep philosophy of theological study. The philosophy of theological studies must seek to produce intellectuals that must create socio-cultural, politico-economic and psycho-spiritual change in human society in the twenty-first (21) century. Theology must lead humanity to “seek the Truth” about God for their final return to God, to attain salvation in God who is trinity – Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
