Course code: 0002 + Course abbreviation: BA + Total credit points required: 192 (equivalent) + 4 years full-time, 8 years part-time + Managing faculty: Arts (in conjunction with Melbourne College of Divinity)
On-campus (Clayton)
This
combined course is offered in conjunction with the Melbourne College of
Divinity (MCD) and enables students to take out both degrees after four years
of study.
Students who complete the course will demonstrate an understanding of different
approaches to theology, both in the contemporary world and historically, the
ways in which theology relates to its cultural context, and the ways in which
different disciplines in the humanities influence theological reflection. In
addition to this, students will also be able to demonstrate an understanding of
the sources of theological reflection, the historical development of Christian
doctrines, the circumstances and contexts in which these doctrines were
formulated, and the rhetoric which today, and historically, has influenced the
formulation and communication (both written and verbal) of theological
reflection.
Students will also achieve a demonstrable capacity to themselves formulate and
communicate (in both oral and written form) their own theological understanding
in the various areas of theology.
The requirements for the Bachelor of Theology are completed on one of the campuses of the MCD while the requirements for the Bachelor of Arts are completed at the Clayton campus of Monash University. Some of the theology units may be take at the Monash Clayton campus (depending upon staffing). Students complete the equivalent of 192 Monash credit points in core arts and theology components.
