The University
of Navarre (Pamplona, Spain)
The
School of Theology of the University of
Navarra was founded as a Theological Center
in 1964. It was later elevated to the
rank of Institute in 1967, and was designated
by the Holy See as a School (Faculty)
in 1969. Its academic degrees are fully
valid, both civilly and canonically. As
its original task, the School devoted
itself to providing its students with
a solid theological formation; it also
prepares professors and researchers in
Sacred Sciences. Its upper-division (2nd
cycle) studies are structured in three
Specializations: Sacred Scripture, Systematic
Theology (emphases in Dogmatic Theology
and in Moral and Spiritual Theology),
and Theological History (emphases in Church
History and the History of Theology).
(Read more at the Faculty
of Theology's website.)
The Faculty of Theology
continues to do intensive research and
publish scholarly work in the different
fields of specialization. Among its academic
endeavors, it collaborates with other
centers of Theology all over the world,
holds International Symposia, and organizes
seminars for Theology professors. Its
professors have translated and prepared
the notes (intended both for basic academic
research and as an aid for personal meditation
and spiritual growth) for the much-appreciated
Navarre Bible, now available in different
languages.
For the formation of priests
and seminarians, the Faculty of Theology
coordinates closely with the Faculty
of Ecclesiastical Philosophy and the
Faculty
of Canon Law of the University
of Navarre.
Through the efforts of
Theological Centrum, Philippine Bishops
have been sending priests and seminarians
to the University of Navarre since 1985,
primarily to help upgrade the quality
of formation offered in their respective
seminaries.
Seminarians live and undergo
formation in the Bidasoa International
Seminary. Priest scholars on the other
hand reside in the following international
colleges (or residence) run in union with
the Faculty of Theology:
- Colegio Mayor de Humanidades
- Colegio Mayor Dos Tilos
- Colegio Mayor Albaizar
- Colegio Mayor
P. Barace
- Colegio Mayor
Carlos III
