This master's degree in Fundamentals of Christianity was created as part of the development of the San Dámaso Chair, the result of an agreement between the UFV and San Dámaso (UESD), and directed by the theologian Javier Prades, a member of the jury for the Open Reason awards of the Francisco de Vitoria University. Javier Prades is a specialist in the dialogue between theology, philosophy and science.

The main objective of the chair is to articulate spaces for training, research and dissemination that integrate the different areas of knowledge around a unitary vision of knowledge, according to the organizers. 

Christianity: dialogue between faith and reason

With an eye on the great cultural and ethical challenges of our time, we are in a historical moment of fragmentation of knowledge and growing disconnection between knowledge. Therefore, it is essential to recover spaces for dialogue between faith and reason.

The program The Master's Degree in Fundamentals of Christianity is designed for graduates. Its academic design combines university rigor and pedagogical accessibility. Thus, it is ideal for pastoral agents, committed lay people, teachers or professionals in various fields.

It will be available 100 % online or in hybrid mode, and training actions are planned for the teachers involved in the Open Reason project, with the aim of promoting dialogue between the different sciences and theology.
