About this course

Gain an introduction to one of the world's oldest disciplines by learning about the history, beliefs, texts, and practices of the Christian tradition. Challenge your intellectual independence through working on projects with your peers. You'll be encouraged to ask questions, think critically, reflect deeply and act ethically in your engagement with both theology and your wider environment.

Not all students who study theology are religious themselves; all you need is an inquiring mind and passion to learn more about the significance and impact of religion in the world around us.
