Students in Theology are expected to exhibit control of a range of literature, thinkers, and problems in three different areas: systematic theology, history of Christian doctrine, and one of the following: philosophy of religion/philosophical theology, history of philosophy in the west, or history of religious thought in a tradition other than Christianity.
