In this qualitative study, we will examine the theological challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic among the graduate students of theology in a university in Tehran. This pandemic has been a potential source of theological challenges. The present study aims to identify these potential challenges and their responses from the perspective of our respondents.  The results of this study show that this group of students has not faced an insurmountable challenge in this field due to their religious education and also the degree of their religiosity, and have provided a theological explanation of this pandemic following their background beliefs. We have classified their responses and the way they have tackled this pandemic.
