MA - Master of Arts Degree
University of St Andrews
Full Time
SEP-25
4 years
The MA (Hons) New Testament portion of the four-year joint degree course is run by the School of Divinity. Your study is designed to introduce you to the complexities and wonders of reading New Testament texts: language, contexts, content, methods, and hermeneutics (a reading of ancient texts in a modern world).
Your first two years focus on a thorough introductory study of the New Testament, and on enabling you to read and analyse prescribed texts in Biblical Greek. The New Testament modules focus on Jesus and the Gospels, Paul’s letters and the rest of the New Testament writings in the context of the history and theology of early Christianity.
Alongside the New Testament, in the first year of your studies you will be required to study an additional two subjects. In the second year you will usually carry on at least one of these subjects, sometimes two.
In your third and fourth year, you will have the opportunity to take more advanced modules which focus on reading New Testament texts in context, in either English or Greek.
The University of St Andrews operates on a flexible modular degree system by which degrees are obtained through the accumulation of credits.
