of Theology

Study Theology in Asia at the Loyola School of Theology. A unique context for international students to do their theology in an Asian setting and so to engage the rich reality of the world in Asia.

International and multi cultural. Since its establishment in 1965, LST has always been an international school of theology because of the global character of Jesuit mission. From its very beginning, the Jesuit mission has considered “the entire world” as “the object of our interest and concern” ad maiorem Dei gloriam (GC 35, 2, nos. 23-24). One of the early Jesuits, Jerome Nadal, used to say, “For the Society of Jesus, the whole world is our home”.

As an Asian and International Faculty of Theology, LST commits itself to theological formation that is contextualized. The institutionalized Asian Theological Program ensures the preparation for ministry in Asian contexts.
