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 by an international collaboration with Stellenbosch University (South Africa).

CAREER PROSPECTS

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.

Modules

This masters course provides training in the essential methodological, archival and practical skills necessary for undertaking postgraduate study in Church History and Historical Theology in fulfilment of the Research Skills core component of postgraduate study at the University of Glasgow. It will also provide a deep historiographical and theological analysis of the disciplines as they have developed from the early church to the eve of the Reformation. In particular, this course will demonstrate the necessity of considering both the disciplines of Theology and Church History as interrelated.
