History and Theology Philosophy and Ethics

History
Our specialisms in social, political and cultural history mark us out as different to History courses elsewhere. Here at Lincoln Bishop you are encouraged to see the past from different, often challenging perspectives in order to gain a greater understanding of what happened and why.

Students on this course explore a range of fascinating topics spanning a number of historical eras, in a wide variety of local, national, and global contexts. Modules cover subjects as diverse as medieval Europe; the Vietnam War and Cold Wars; sexuality, race, class, and gender identity in the past; early modern reformation and revolution; the British Empire; the history of magic, witchcraft and folklore; the history of the city; the Atlantic slave trade; the French and Haitian Revolutions; and the histories of crime, punishment, popular protest, and modern dictatorship.

This course offers a different type of Theology and Ethics – we like to think of it as Theology ‘with its sleeves rolled up’. Our hands-on undergraduate degree will take you beyond the classroom and will open doors that have the potential to change your life and empower you to make a difference to the world you inhabit.

Theology and Ethics
Get ready to look at recent trends in theology alongside the implications of scientific discovery, exploring religious debate together with arguments for atheism and for the existence of God. You won’t stop studying world religions, however. You’ll also explore other key events and issues related to terrorism, race, gender and sexuality. Here at Lincoln Bishop in Lincoln, we have many years’ experience in teaching Religious Studies, Philosophy and Theology. We designed this degree to bring the oldest of academic subjects firmly into the present day – combining the richness of ancient tradition with the relevance and freshness of a 21st-century subject.
