PhD inter-religious
This programme was driven by a growing need to prepare Christian practitioners, teachers, scholars, and researchers for public and private institutions of higher learning and research in the area of world religions and interreligious relations.
The goal of the programme is to equip the students so that they are able to help local, regional, or even international Christian practitioners and institutional teachers with theories and practices from current knowledge and research in world religions and interreligious affairs. They will also be able to provide guidelines for critical issues and conflicts between different faith-based communities. Currently the programme has a concentration in Islamic studies.
