The Catholic theology faculty at the University of Würzburg is offering a new Master’s degree program. It is entitled “Theology for a World in Transformation.” Instruction will be in English. Students will also have an opportunity to take courses in German if desired.
Here is a short statement of the challenge that this new program will equip its students to address:
The 21st century is characterized by profound processes of transformation: ecological crises, political conflicts, technological innovations, and more, which are raising fundamental questions of orientation in an increasingly globalized world marked by (religious) pluralism. This is happening at both the personal and the societal levels. The Church and theology are part of these transformation processes. At the same time theology offers the potential to deal responsibly with transformation processes and the challenges that accompany them.
A full description of the program and the application process can be found here.
Professor Martin Stuflesser, who will lead the program, is known to readers of Pray Tell as an esteemed scholar of liturgical science who is forward-thinking in the critical application of theology to life. He will be joined by Joseph Grayland and others in this new educational venture.
Spending time in the beautiful Franconian city of Würzburg, Germany, will be an added benefit for those who study in this program!
