Why choose this programme?

This Master program seeks to integrate the insights of Contextual Theology and those of Interreligious Studies under the heading of ”intercontextual” theology.

The first year is concentrated on courses and seminars. The students are expected to participate with oral and written presentations. The second year is focused on writing a Master thesis.

The compulsory courses will introduce you to main perspectives in contextual theologies, liberation and feminist theologies, interreligious dialogue and postcolonial and globalization studies with an emphasis on methods and issues.

The optional courses will introduce you to:

  • Central Biblical texts in the religious, cultural and
    political contexts of the Gospels, as well as in the contexts of modern
    readers, especially in Africa and Latin-America.
  • The understanding of pain, illness and suffering, both in
    the first and the third world contexts.
  • Subjects like Interreligious Relations, Church and Society,
    Religion - Peace and Conflict and Old Testament Theology.

The optional courses offered will alternate from semester to semester.
