The holiday season is fast approaching, and with it the New Year, when we make all sorts of resolutions and decisions which, unfortunately, rarely survive the end of January. So why not make a different kind of New Year decision this Christmas, one much more likely to survive, as well as equip you with a range of valuable skills and knowledge in Theology and Biblical Studies? What's more you can begin a course at King's any time of the year rather than having to wait until September. Applications received in December will be processed in time for new students to begin their studies in early January, before those post-season blues have had an opportunity to set in. Visit the school blog for further details. |

King's has just launched a new double module (20 credits) entitled Theology of Worship, which is a new elective forming part of the Bachelor of Theology (BTh) programme for those interested in studying this subject as part of their Theology degree. This module, which is useful for those involved (or who would like to be involved) in worship, for example, pastors and worship leaders, together with all those interested in the subject of worship across the wider church, as with all other King's modules is delivered fully online. So not only does this module provide fully accredited access to a subject not often covered in colleges and universities (most worship courses tend to be delivered by unaccredited schools and church programmes), it also offers the flexibility of distance study via the Internet. So why study worship as part of a Theology degree? Module leader Chris Lazenby explains:
Of course, a study of worship may be of academic and practical use as part of your degree, even if you don't have musical gifts (though these would be helpful for later modules we're considering). There is much more to worship than music in church on Sundays! A good background in the study of worship can help to tie up many 'loose ends' in your theological education, connecting much theoretical work to a practical outworking of theological truth within God's worshipping community.

King's is launching a new Graduate Diploma in Theology, validated by the University of Chester, providing graduates who hold a degree in a subject other than Theology with a means of formally measuring competence and earning an internationally recognised undergraduate qualification in the subject without having to commit to studying for a full theological degree. The programme is available online full-time over one year and part-time over up to four years.
So who should consider the Graduate Diploma in Theology? The programme offers a formal means of measuring competence in Theology at undergraduate level, and as such is generally suitable as a formal measure of having mastered broad knowledge, understanding and skills in Theology at an advanced undergraduate level in the following scenarios:
- Graduates of subjects other than Theology seeking a qualification which will allow them to study the subject at postgraduate level
- Ordinands and Christian workers seeking additional formal evidence of theological study at undergraduate level
- Christians in lay positions seeking formal evidence of theological study
- Qualified schoolteachers who require a qualification in Theology/Religious Studies to expand their teaching portfolio
- Those who completed a Theology degree some years ago and are keen to refresh their knowledge, understanding and skills, as well as engage with more recent developments in the field
- Anyone with a degree in another subject interested in expanding into the field of Theology for personal reason
To find more information about the the programme, including a downloadable brochure, visit the Graduate Diploma page. |

In the latest of our Talks With Scholars series, we interview David Alan Black on matters relating to the Synoptic Gospels and Greek linguistics; most of these questions were supplied by students at KEDS. Dr Black received a D. Theol. in New Testament from the University of Basel in 1983. The following interview will be useful material for students studying modules in The Synoptic Gospels, New Testament Survey and Biblical Greek.

British Higher Education is fast becoming prohibitively expensive, with the government recently passing legislation allowing universities to charge tuition fees of up to £9,000 per year. Neither does it end there, with accommodation, subsistence, travel and other expenses associated with attending a degree programme at a university, you could easily add another £3,000-5,000, again every year that your degree course runs. Multiply that by a three-year course and that’s an awful lot of cash to repay once you finish your degree. And while degrees in Law and Medicine can potentially earn graduates a tidy sum during the course of a lifetime, a degree in Theology is somewhat further down the potential earnings pecking order.
Yet taking a fully accredited degree in Theology at King’s costs nowhere near that amount, working out at below £6,000 in total from 2011-12. (That’s not £6,000 per year, you understand, but rather for the entire degree!) Our Bachelor of Theology programme, validated by the University of Chester, is delivered completely online, allowing you to study from home or wherever, without the need to raise funds for accommodation and other costs associated with a traditional taught course. Access course materials wherever you have an internet connection, submit assignments electronically, and stay in touch with students and faculty by email, ‘phone, through the eCampus forum and Skype. Our B.Th. degree (a specialist qualification in Christian theology arguably equivalent in standard and scope to a U.S. M.Div.) is also highly flexible, allowing you to organize your studies and pace as you see fit. With a special focus on hermeneutics this degree is ideal for anyone seeking formal accreditation in Theology, whether for ministry, higher study at a later stage or purely out of interest in the subject. So why not visit our B.Th. page and see what we have to offer? |
