Mission Statement Divine Word Seminary considers as its important task to help their students to be firmly rooted in Sacred Scripture and in the Tradition of the Church. In the light of its special missionary orientation and the 16th SVD General Chapter, this theological program envisions to form students in the principle of prophetic dialogue: to reach out to the poor and the marginalized, to people of different cultures, to believers belonging to different religious traditions, and to the faith-seekers.

The course introduces the students to the world and context of the Old Testament, the formation of the biblical books, their structure and message, major themes and pastoral issues for today arising from each area of study.

Church, Kingdom of God and Mission The first part of the course discusses the Church as a community for the Kingdom of God. The second part presents the Church as missionary by its very nature. It focuses on significant moments of the Christian movement, from the early Church to the end of the 20th century. Then it develops a theology of mission for today based on the missionary practice and theology of the Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant, Evangelical and Pentecostal Christianity.

Moral Theology and Catholic Social Teachings This course brings theology to its practical application to everyday life. Thus, it presents the teachings of the Church on Christian morality as gleaned from the Sacred Scripture and from the Catholic moral tradition. An emphasis is given to the social teachings of the Church as central to the understanding of the social mission of the Catholic Church in Philippine society.

Practicum Producing modules for Bible and Sacrament seminars written by the students themselves is the aim of the course. The will be also a chance to deliver such modules before an audience.

Pastoral Introduction to the New Testament

Facilities:

The course presents a survey of the writings of the New Testament and their context. Major themes and controversial texts that can shed light on today’s pastoral issues will also be discussed.

DWST is equipped with excellent classrooms with laptops and LCD projectors. Enrolled students of CTS will also have access to the Arnoldus Library, computers, and internet system. Rooms with reasonable rates are available if students prefer to stay overnight. The Zentrum retreat house offers a meal service for a low price. Barako Coffee is served for free.

Liturgy and Sacraments The course introduces the students into the main issues and concepts like celebration, anamnesis, ritual, sign and symbol, sacramentality, etc. It has a special emphasis on the Eucharist which is the liturgy and the sacrament par excellence. Ultimately, this course hopes to accompany the students in discovering liturgy and sacraments as a fountain of Christian spirituality.

Pentateuch and Prophets The course presents the major themes and important passages in the Torah and in the Prophetic Literature — those that can guide our actions as Christians.

FEE per semester (6 units): P4,000 inclusive of handouts, internet use, library. Reservation fee is P2,000 (non-refundable).

A scholarship committee consisting of the Rector, the Dean, and the Program Director screens prospective scholars.

Christology The course intends to give the essentials of Christology/ soteriology which are: The Historical Jesus (life & ministry, death, and resurrection); The Transcendent Christ (divinity, humanity, and hypostatic union).
