About us

We are the PThU. The Protestant Theological University. Connected to the Protestant Church in the Netherlands, we explore the contribution of Scripture, Christian traditions and faith practices to finding meaning, justice and salvation. So inspirated, we train people to become theologians in the role of congregational pastor, spiritual caregiver or academic researcher. People who, like us, are both deeply rooted and broadly oriented, sharp of mind and rich in spirituality. People who can help others with life questions such as: who am I, where do I come from and how do I lead a good life?

  • "My decision to study here has been invaluable in my current work as a teacher at Waimaw Theological Seminary. During my studies I received the tools that helped me to reflect confidently on 'living' Biblical texts and to think critically about my community and the situation in my home country. It was an incomparable experience.”
