Cranmer Hall has decided to discontinue the MA in Digital Theology. The Centre for Digital Theology is therefore currently running the programme at another institution. Please contact Jonas Kurlberg for enquiries.

The Masters in Digital Theology is the first degree of its kind across the world offering a unique opportunity for theological reflection on digital culture and its impact on contemporary religious practice - especially within the context of Christianity.

The course explores:

• how we think theologically about digital culture and how we might apply digital methodologies to our theological thinking
• how key theological themes are impacted by serious engagement with digitality - what do we mean by incarnation in a digital world; how do we live ethically amidst
• digital technology; might transhumanism be a form of apocalypticism?
• how religious practice adapts within a dominant digital culture, especially digitally mediated Christianity and whether there are boundaries to that adaptation.

You can take the course both as a one-year full-time student, or part-time over two or three years. The course will be taught through two teaching blocks, initially in the historic world heritage site of Durham's medieval city, using a variety of online and offline settings.
