Our short courses in theology offer you the opportunity to explore Christian faith and world religions without committing to a full degree.
This short course explores the theological virtues that lie at the heart of Christian faith and theology.
Faith, Hope and Love will explore what the 'theological virtues' are and how they serve as the means through which Christ transforms our lives, relationships and actions.
Delivered across four face-to-face sessions based at our Melbourne campus, the course will examine the concept of virtue, focusing specifically on the three theological virtues: faith, hope and love (charity).
Session 1: 5 March, 6 - 8pm
Introduction to the Theological Virtues - Associate Professor Joel Hodge (National Head, School of Theology, ACU)
Session 2: 12 March, 6 - 8pm

Love -Dr Antonia Pizzey (Acting Deputy Head and Senior Lecturer, School of Theology, ACU)
Session 4: 26 March, 6 - 8pm
Hope - Dr Benjamin R DeSpain (Research Fellow, Institute for Religion and Critical Inquiry, ACU)
Each session will include light refreshments. ACU staff and students can attend for free.
