AB This article explores the relationship between the contemporary Western university and Christian theological studies from a postliberal perspective. First, it highlights the manner in which the Toronto School of Theology has construed theology within its new conjoint PhD program. Second, it analyzes Hans Frei's typology of modern theology, focusing on the variety of ways in which theology as such incorporates non-theological disciplines. Third, it locates theological studies as defined by the Toronto School of Theology within two categories that appear in Frei's typology. Fourth, it explores the nature of the contemporary Western university, both postmodern ideological trajectories and the functional residue of modernity. Finally, it argues that the metaphor of "conjoining" represents an apt proposal for the relationship of theology to the university, in particular the intellectual activity undertaken within the Toronto School of Theology and what occurs within the University of Toronto.
