>Choice of seven papers across four subject areas, from which students select freely
Biblical studies
Systematic theology and ethics
History of religions (Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam and Judaism)
Religion and religions (Contemporary Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam and Hinduism)
Within my choice of words, I would call this religious studies. I'm reserving theology for when you focus on a specific religion, and the idea is that that religion is actually true (as opposed to studying many religions like you'd read many authors in an English degree.) Still, if Oxford disagrees with me about the dictionary then it is probably me who is abusing language. ;)
