Getting a Degree in
Interfaith/Holistic Theology by Andrea Mathews Over twenty years ago, the American Institute of Holistic Theology (AIHT) was formed with the intention of offering degree programs to students from around the world on the diverse paths of access to the Divine. The programs continue to grow to reflect greater awareness of the needs of students and those they serve as well as the potentialities of the interfaith perspective. The word theology describes a study of the Divine. But a holistic study of the Divine includes the varied ways, paths, rituals and practices through which a person might access the Divine.
Therefore, at AIHT, not only do students study the diverse world religions, both singularly and comparatively, but the school also offers studies of the alternative pathways to accessing the spiritual realms such as through the study of the paranormal and the varieties of healing and guiding motifs. AIHT also offer studies that transcend the different faiths, religions, pathways and motifs, leading the student to the more mystical connections to the Divine.
