About the School of Theology

Theological Education for Faculty and Staff

SPU professor chatting SPU’s goal is that every member of the faculty and staff has a solid working knowledge of the Bible and is able to think theologically about his or her academic discipline or professional field.

 

Toward this end, the School of Theology faculty — through the Center for Biblical and Theological Education — are involved in various interdisciplinary conversations and provide staffing and programming for colleagues that desire reflection on Scripture and the Christian tradition as they illumine their fields of study.
