The Faculty of Theology is one along with the six faculties of Agriculture; Engineering & Technology; Science; Management, Humanities & Social Sciences and Health Sciences. The role of Faculty of Theology is to seek prophetic wisdom immersed in the realities of life today while being oriented to God when the knowledge, know-how and information are often commodified or divorced from ethical responsibilities and holistic formation. The task is to nurture collegiality of wisdom seeking conversation with varied disciplines.
The Faculty of Theology had a humble beginning with ten students in a small classroom in 2002. The foundation of the Gospel and Plough School of Theology was laid in 2003 with ground breaking ceremony and was consolidated in 2008. Now, it has grown to be a full faculty offering undergraduate, post-graduate and PhD programmes. A student in Theology learns not in isolation of walls of an Institute but in the context of an environment of six other faculties with approximately six thousand students on the campus. The Ministry of Human Resource Development of India (Ref: D.O. No. F. 20-71/2005-U-3, December 21, 2005) has clarified that in terms of the provision under article no (1) of the Constitution of India, the University may conduct its courses in 'Theology' in whatever mode it wants to, as it has the right to do so. Based on the above mentioned notification, the University Grants Commission, in its letter No. F.6-1 (II)/2006 (CPP-I), 15th July 2006 issued a clarification that the PhD Degree in Theology awarded by SHUATS, is a specified and valid degree as per section 22 of the UGC Act 1956.
The ‘CHAPEL’ and ‘YESHU DARBAR’ are two focal points of the identity of the Faculty of Theology, charting a new discourse on ecclesiology. It has initiated a unique movement of witness that can be truly indigenous. The vision of ‘Gospel and Plough’ with combination of innovation, educational rigor, Christian integrity and a strong sense of mission continues in reality.
