Studying Theology At Duquesne

A Catholic university offers a unique opportunity for religious faith and contemporary culture to enter into conversation. Catholic theology has been pursuing difficult questions for nearly twenty centuries and has acquired much wisdom about what resources are dependable, what answers are too easy, what questions need to be addressed.

In the Department of Theology, the conversation between faith and culture becomes intellectually alive as students and teachers engage scripture, tradition, experience, and contemporary thought in search of understanding.
