Course summary

This Masters engages students in the history of the Christian Church, its theology, and the influence of changing theological and historiographical traditions. The programme gives equal weight to the study of history, theology, history of ideas and historiography, enabling students to develop robust critical skills for analysing changing ideas, customs and intellectual traditions. What makes this programme distinctive is its engagement with not just the history of Christianity, but the changing historiography of Christianity, and its impact upon theology. This Masters is delivered as part of an international collaboration with Stellenbosch University (South Africa). The core staff are Church Historians with diverse expertise who have published widely and edit internationally recognised journals and book series. The University has a world-class library with exceptional special collections, archives and rare books, including first-century papyri, over 1,000 early incunabula, first editions of key reformation texts, and one of the largest collections of bibles in the world. Parts of this programme are delivered by Stellenbosch University, joint-oldest university in sub-Saharan Africa and ranked among the best universities for Theology, Divinity and Religious Studies on the African continent.Students may take this programme while on secondment from an on-going teaching or professional education position. Students will typically continue to doctoral study, Christian ministry, school teaching or to posts in the culture and heritage sector.
