Doctoral programme at the John Wesley Theological College is the highest level of a linear training system, which provides opportunities for researchers in theology, prepares it to acquire a scientific community and contribute to the scholarly community.<\/p>\n
From the academic year 2022-23, our College is entitled to organize PhD doctoral programme and conduct a related doctoral degree procedure with the beginning of the school year first semester. JWTC has an independent, accredited doctoral school in the discipline.<\/p>\n
Theological research that can be continued at Doctoral School is related to the current challenges of environmental policy, education policy and social policy. These are the primary contexts of theological research. Beyond these areas, theological research can be connected to any area that can be interpreted within the framework of the thought that the whole world refers to the creator of God and the creator of the created world.<\/p>\n
We welcome everybody to the Doctoral School with a master degree of religious education at the higher education institution of any religious community. Those who have completed basic religious education are also welcome if they have obtained a masterpiece in other fields.<\/p>\n
Finally, we also offer our training to those with a master’s degree who do not have a pre -qualification. It is particularly important for them to complete a series of compulsory and mandatory courses offered during the first four semester of the training, which provides an elemental orientation in the science of theology and the world of directly related areas.<\/p>\n

The Wesley Doctoral School of Theology and Religious Education<\/strong> is an educational and research institution established as part of the long-term development strategy of the John Wesley Theological College<\/strong>, which was founded in 1987 by the Hungarian Evangelical Fellowship (MET)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The school’s operation, spirit, and philosophy of knowledge and science cultivation are in organic harmony with the theological-ethical disciplinary principle formulated by John Wesley<\/strong>, a key figure of the Neo-Protestant Methodist church tradition: “The world is my parish.”<\/em> This is also reflected in Methodism\u2019s and the MET\u2019s fundamental structural openness toward the created world.<\/p>\n Following from the postulate of the created world as a theological concept, and from the metatheoretical reflection on this axiom, the Doctoral School is guided by a commitment to the freedom and pluralism of research<\/strong>, and to an interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary openness<\/strong> toward theological and religious-educational questions of existential reality. We support and guide our students\u2019 studies, research, spiritual growth, and public engagement in this spirit. In accordance with this worldview, we are open to meaningfully embracing and supporting any scholarly topic our students wish to pursue that fits within the school\u2019s disciplinary horizons, whether it relates to sub-, auxiliary, or super-disciplinary domains.<\/p>\n In close connection with our theological and religious-educational value system, we place special emphasis on universal human values<\/strong>, including the fundamental principles of freedom of conscience and religion<\/strong>, and human rights<\/strong>. We attribute strategic importance in our academic approach to intercultural understanding<\/strong>, worldview openness<\/strong>, and to a study ideal grounded in an ecumenical hermeneutic<\/strong> that promotes dialogue<\/strong>, mutual respect<\/strong> for differing beliefs, opinions, and convictions.<\/p>\n Through our educational and research programs, we are particularly committed to the idea of Jewish-Christian brotherhood<\/strong>, which we view as singularly important from our theological and religious-educational perspective. We embrace a non-antisemitic conceptualization<\/strong> of the Jewish\u2013non-Jewish relationship. We also devote special attention to the existential issues faced by minorities and marginalized groups living among us\u2014especially the Roma people and those who are socially and economically disadvantaged, criminalized, or marginalized.<\/p>\n The training framework for students preparing to earn their doctoral degree, as well as the organizational structure of the school, is regulated by the Doctoral and Habilitation Regulations<\/strong>.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Regulations” _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”][\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Doctoral and Habilitation Committee” _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n Chair of the Doctoral and Habilitation Council (DHC):<\/strong> Members:<\/strong> Secretary of the DHC with consultative rights:<\/strong> Voting procedure:<\/strong> [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Instructors, staff” _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n Head of the Doctoral School<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Head of Research \/ Supervisor<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Faculty Members and Instructors<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Research topics” _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n Theological reflection on the person and work of the Holy Spirit<\/strong> The relationship between church and secular authority in Luther\u2019s theology, its effects, reconstructions, and contemporary interpretations<\/strong> The relationship between Christianity and democracy in the writings of Istv\u00e1n Bib\u00f3<\/strong> Modern approaches to the question of God<\/strong> The relationship between philosophy and theology in the modern and\/or postmodern age<\/strong> Holiness and community<\/strong> Extracanonical responses to religious questions<\/strong> Hungarian Christian socialism and the Jewish community<\/strong> Theological and political rivalry between Constantinople and Alexandria in the 5th century<\/strong> Christian antisemitism and its characteristics in the New Testament and early Church period<\/strong> Selected questions in the history of Jewish-Christian relations<\/strong> The 1941 deportation to K\u0151r\u00f6smez\u0151 and the beginnings of the Shoah in Hungary<\/strong> History of the Hungarian Evangelical Fellowship from its beginnings to official recognition<\/strong> Churches and state security (with a focus on Protestant communities)<\/strong> Ecumenism and its problems<\/strong> The Christian state<\/strong> The politicizing church<\/strong> Historical and philological analysis of Reformation-era Bible translations<\/strong> The goals and misdirections of church action<\/strong> Practical theology as scientific reflection<\/strong> Sociological analysis of the church\u2019s situation<\/strong> Philosophical anthropology and Christian theology<\/strong> The history of transcendental philosophies<\/strong> 20th-century critiques of the Enlightenment’s concept of man<\/strong> The role of religious communities in preserving mental health<\/strong> The role of religiosity in coping with critical life situations;
