The dynamics of renewal in religious sciences in Francophone Africa, combined with the challenges of <strong>interreligious dialogue<\/strong> and the prevention of extremism, require a <strong>high-level systematic and dogmatic theology<\/strong> capable of articulating tradition and modernity, faith and reason, patristic heritage and contemporary questioning. This certificate equips learners to investigate the nature of the Church, its ministries, the theology of the sacraments, and ecumenical convergences, in a posture of <strong>academic rigor<\/strong> and critical analysis, open to the contributions of African theologies (inculturation, liberation, reconstruction). <strong>confessional neutrality<\/strong> The UNIVGA method combines 100% online, asynchronous courses with a sustainable pace of<\/p>\n<p>, and expert pedagogical support. The program mobilizes directed readings of primary sources (Scripture, Fathers, councils, Vatican II), exercises in historical-critical exegesis, controversy dossiers, academic dissertations, and mini-research theses.
