L-GĦAQDA STUDENTI TAT-TEOLOĠIJA

The Għaqda Studenti tat-­Teoloġija (GħST) is a faculty ­based student senate ­recognised organisation and the official student organisation of the Faculty of Theology. It is also one of the oldest and smallest student organisations still around. 

Originally the Royal University Students’ Theological Association, the Għaqda Studenti tat­-Teoloġija was formally founded in 1945. However, it was recently discovered that the Association was in fact a spin­off from an earlier society called ‘Ċirkolu ta’ Studju bejn l-­Istudenti tal-­Kors Akkademiku tat-Teoloġija’ whose first meeting was held on the 21st December 1942 at St Joseph’s Institute in Ħamrun.

Today, the Għaqda Studenti tat­-Teoloġija is above all else at the service of its members: the students reading theology at any level at the University of Malta. Għ.S.T. was the pioneer among Maltese student organisations to publish its own scientific review, “Melita Theologica”, which was first issued in 1947.

Melita Theologica

Melita Theologica is a scholarly peer-reviewed journal published bi­annually since 1947. It is published under the joint collaboration of the Faculty of Theology at the University of Malta, the Theology Students Association and the Foundation for Theological Studies of the Archdiocese of Malta.

Melita Theologica contains articles penned by academics on a range of topics that includes systematics, biblical studies, spiritual and pastoral theology, bioethics, liturgy and psychology. At a time when different outlooks, new questions and contemporary challenges continue to mould Christian theological thought, Melita Theologica provides a forum for academic expression that interests and stimulates scholars and students alike.

The journal is characterised by an interdisciplinary approach, multiplicity of research perspectives and a broad reflection on philosophical and theological issues.

Testimonials

The M.A. in SPIRITUALITY has proven to be incredibly valuable, as it builds upon my previous studies in literature at university and takes an interdisciplinary approach, aligning perfectly with my pursuit of a PhD in the field of interreligious dialogue for further research. I must not fail to mention the overwhelming support I received from my tutor and lecturers, which has greatly contributed to my increased involvement in academia and my overall intellectual and personal growth.
Warren J. Borg EbejerLecturer at MCAST
The five years spent at the Faculty of Theology were years of self-discovery, passionate debate and excellent academic accompaniment leading to a deeper reflection on the mystery of being, revelation, meaning and life. Here I came to concretely discover and understand that the Incarnation of Jesus, his deeds, death and resurrection, is no myth.

Reading for a M.A. in SPIRITUALITY was a great satisfaction. Lectures and subjects taught by the dedicated lecturers, especially those forming the Carmelite Stream, are so interesting and informative, besides being enriching. I wholeheartedly recommend this course to all those who want to experience a spiritual strengthening in their life.
