Theology
Overview
Theology is an invitation to engage in a centuries-long conversation about God’s nature and purposes in our world.
Gordon College’s theology minor will challenge you to think critically and theologically about all of life—from careers to culture, relationships to reconciliation, the past to the present. You’ll learn to actively participate in and apply biblical, historical, systematic and practical theology to your life and your community to develop a deeper understanding of God.
Why study theology at Gordon?
Our faculty layer scholarship with practical skills and provide space to learn from others so you can deeply understand the diversity of Christianity and connect it with service to the world. Learn from the Bible and Christians from the past, as well as the ones pulling up a chair next to you.
How can studying theology help you be a difference-maker for Christ?
Studying theology allows you to explore the implications of faith for your everyday life, in areas such as technology, mental health and creation care. Stretch your mind and heart to uncover a new richness to your faith and develop your ability to lead impactful ministries or pursue graduate degrees.
