leading to a separate certificate in the four main branches of theology:<\/p><p><strong><em>\u2022 Applied Biblical Theology<\/em><\/strong><br \/>How was the Bible compiled? How should it be read and interpreted correctly? How can we make use of the prayers in the Bible? These are just a few of the questions that the various Bible courses in the program will seek to answer. The Bible courses will be offered during the first and second years of the program.<\/p><p><strong><em>\u2022 Applied moral theology<\/em><\/strong><br \/>How can we evaluate our actions from a Christian perspective? Should the Gospel guide our daily actions? What is the Church\u2019s position on cohabitation, infidelity, abortion, euthanasia, assisted reproductive technologies, or polygamy? These are just a few of the many topics that will be covered in the ethics courses. Moral education courses will be offered only in the second year.<\/p><p><strong><em>\u2022 Applied Systematic Theology<\/em><\/strong><br \/>What are the principles of the Christian faith? Is it incompatible with African beliefs and traditions? Who is Christ? What role does the Holy Spirit play in the faith and lives of Christians? How should we understand the role of Mary and Marian devotion? These are some of the questions that will guide the courses in this teaching unit, which will be offered in the first and fourth years of the program.<\/p><p><strong><em>\u2022 Pastoral Theology<\/em><\/strong><br \/>What are the characteristics of Christian prayer? How can one pray effectively for healing? How should one preach and teach the Word of God? Are holy water and blessed salt important or not? These and other questions will guide the pastoral theology courses offered in the third and fourth years of the program.<\/p>\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8d739c4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-ct_heading\" data-id=\"8d739c4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"ct_heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"ct_heading-8d739c4\" class=\"ct-heading h-align- sub-style1 ct-heading-left item-st-default\">\r\n    <div class=\"ct-item--inner\">\r\n        <div class=\"ct-inline-css\" data-css=\"            \">\r\n        <\/div>\r\n                    <div class=\"item--sub-title style1 show-line\">\r\n                                                                Education                                                                            <\/div>\r\n                <h3 class=\"item--title st-default case-animate-time\" data-wow-delay=\"ms\">\r\n                        <span class=\"sp-main\">\r\n                \r\n                Courses scheduled for the 2024\u20132025 academic year\r\n                \r\n                            <\/span>\r\n                    <\/h3>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9c6a220 elementor-widget elementor-widget-ct_text_editor\" data-id=\"9c6a220\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"ct_text_editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"ct_text_editor-9c6a220\" class=\"ct-text-editor\" data-wow-delay=\"ms\">\n\t<div class=\"ct-item--inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"ct-inline-css\"  data-css=\"\t        \t\t\t\">\n\n\t    <\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"ct-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t<p><em><strong>Course Unit 1:<\/strong> <strong>Applied Biblical Theology<\/strong><\/em><br \/>Prayer in the Bible: Hymns and Psalms<br \/>The Chosen People in Their Concrete Relationship with God: The Historical Books<br \/>he early church was educated: the Apostolic Letters<br \/>Experience as a Source of Divine Inspiration: The Wisdom Books<br \/>Listening to the Beloved Disciple: The Gospel of John \u2013 Revelation<\/p><p><strong><em>Course Unit 2: Applied Systematic Theology<\/em><\/strong><br \/>\u201cI think\u201d<br \/>Christian Faith and African Traditions<br \/>\u201cWho do you say I am?\u201d: Christology<br \/>Dogmas<br \/>Community-based church: CEB and new communities<\/p>\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-65e4cb7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-ct_heading\" data-id=\"65e4cb7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"ct_heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"ct_heading-65e4cb7\" class=\"ct-heading h-align- sub-style1 ct-heading-left item-st-default\">\r\n    <div class=\"ct-item--inner\">\r\n        <div class=\"ct-inline-css\" data-css=\"            \">\r\n        <\/div>\r\n                    <div class=\"item--sub-title style1 show-line\">\r\n                                                                Education                                                                            <\/div>\r\n                <h3 class=\"item--title st-default case-animate-time\" data-wow-delay=\"ms\">\r\n                        <span class=\"sp-main\">\r\n                \r\n                Program duration and schedule\r\n                \r\n                            <\/span>\r\n                    <\/h3>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2024393 elementor-widget elementor-widget-ct_text_editor\" data-id=\"2024393\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"ct_text_editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"ct_text_editor-2024393\" class=\"ct-text-editor\" data-wow-delay=\"ms\">\n\t<div class=\"ct-item--inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"ct-inline-css\"  data-css=\"\t        \t\t\t\">\n\n\t    <\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"ct-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t<p>The program spans four years.
