The special teaching and research characteristic practiced in the Faculty of Theology consists in the strong reference to the doctrinal legacy and theological perspective of the Second Vatican Council, re-proposed and developed by all the Popes of the post-conciliar period.
The specific orientation and the main task of the Faculty lie in introducing both seminarians, deacons, priests, religious men and women, the laity to a more mature and qualified knowledge of the Christian faith, but also in “promoting, both in Rome and throughout the world, the dialogus salutis of the Church with culture “(Stat., art. 86), training men and women of all ages to be able to respond in a credible and effective way to the challenges of the new evangelization.
The Faculty of Theology is structured in three Cycles.
Lateranum, published every four months, is the journal of the Faculty of Theology of the Pontifical Lateran University. In it, the faculty professors propose the fruits of their research and teaching from the perspective of interdisciplinary knowledge.
