Here are 5 Universities with the Best Courses on Theology

Theology has been one of the oldest subjects to be taught across universities. Religion has been studied, analysed and taught in many ways, and academia has played a key role in making it a subject-matter fit for academic research. Today, theology is understood more than just the study of religion. Different perspectives on the truth of God and religions have developed and made it a subject of rigorous examination. Instead of understanding theology suitable for those only wanting to be part of religious institutions; you should embrace the modern interpretation of theology as a multidisciplinary approach towards religion and everything about it.

Theology is not a very popular academic course in the 21st century but it does enjoy a significant reputation nevertheless. Many universities offer comprehensive courses on theology and have been ranked quite highly on the charts. If you are interested in pursuing theology academically, then you should do the same from a good university with a proven track record on quality curriculum and instruction.
