The Center for Theological Writing helps students in the Divinity School write theology well. It offers tutoring services and organizes events to promote the role of writing within the church and the academy.
Writing is a central part of ministry, and words are fundamental for conveying our beliefs. Writing allows us to discern and clarify our ideas and to transmit them to others.
At the Center for Theological Writing, we hope to strengthen theological interpretation, teaching, preaching, and communication. Although one of the major roles of the Center is to help students with basic writing issues, the Center is also a place where creativity, imagination, and innovation are fostered through conversations, workshops, and presentations.
Appointments at the Writing Center are now made online through Sakai. Learn more »
