HITHA is the first of its kind in India, a theological institute with a difference. Ours is a paradigm shift to focus on the Christians in the Marketplace and what they are involved with during ‘the other six days’. So, our aim is to train the whole body of Christ, especially those working in the marketplace, those interested in knowing the word of God, growing spiritually, being witnesses in the marketplace, and serving in and through the Church in whatever way possible.
Our students would begin their journey starting from a basic theological framework through which they could explain various ethical challenges they face in the world, such as abortion, infanticide, homosexuality, divorce and remarriage, or doctrinal issues, such as evolution and origins of life, trustworthiness and adequacy of the Scriptures, or different heresies (new age movements, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and so forth). Students would also understand and interpret the Bible rightly and have a structured plan for daily devotion for their own lives.
