Theology & Ethics

The Theology and Ethics Discipline provides advance studies in theology and ethics. The courses design for the Bachelor of Divinity (BD) programme and Postgraduate Diploma (PgDip) programme, including research and thesis focus areas at Masters and Doctoral level programmes help to allow and create spaces for Pacific theologians to further reflect on and articulate the Christian faith in the different cultural and historical contexts in the region. Contextualisation of theology within Oceania is a focal endeavour. The courses are used to elicit, encourage, and enhance use of local concepts to articulate the central message of Christianity. The basic framework within which the programme operates is the doctrines of creation and incarnation as well as the current world and regional ethical issues.
