The Master of Arts in Theology, Bible, and the Arts leverages King's College London's distinguished legacy in Christian Theology, Biblical Studies, and theological interactions with artistic expression. This program employs diverse scholarly approaches (including doctrinal and historical theology; biblical languages, interpretation methods, and reception studies; philosophy; art history, literary criticism, and visual culture analysis) to examine inquiries originating from Christianity, as well as dialogues between Christian thought and other belief systems or secular perspectives. The curriculum promotes thoughtful examination of humanity's ongoing search for meaning, equipping students to formulate personal answers to fundamental questions such as: 'What is the nature of our existence?' and 'How can we pursue wisdom in daily life?' As part of this exploration, students are encouraged to engage with London's rich artistic resources, especially through our collaboration with the National Gallery. Graduates pursue diverse paths in education, media, public service, religious vocations, or advanced academic research.

A Bachelor's degree with 2:1 honours is usually required but not necessarily in a humanities subject. We know that relevant background can be acquired by informal routes and we are delighted to consider all applications.
