| Theology |
| The teaching of theology in British institutions of Higher Education has rapidly been transformed in the last few years. Many of the traditional centres of the study have widened their remit to include religious studies and the study of a variety of religious traditions. Changes in the churches and other religious groupings, shifting policies on religious education and wider cultural developments have meant that the profile of students arriving in theology departments is very different from what it was even ten years ago. Most noticeably, and importantly, the proportion of women studying theology has risen until in many departments they form the majority of the student body. The subject itself has had to reckon with new trends in philosophy and culture which raise exciting but difficult questions about its methods and assumptions. New voices have demanded to be heard.
