The Cambridge Faculty of Divinity is the divinity school of the University of Cambridge. It houses the Faculty Library.
History
Divinity has been taught in the University of Cambridge since its foundation, in the early 13th century,[1] around the time the university itself was founded.[2] It is one of only two subjects to have been taught continuously, in some form or other, throughout the entire 800-year history of the university.[3]Шаблон:Better source needed
The first professorship instituted at the university, the Lady Margaret's Professor of Divinity, was dedicated to the subject, in 1502. Similarly, the next professorships to be established at the university – the Regius chairs, of 1540 – included the Regius Professor of Divinity.
Beginning in 1879, the Faculty of Divinity was housed in the Selwyn Divinity School, constructed by Basil Champneys. Now known as The Old Divinity School, the building belongs to St John's College.[4] Since 2001, the Faculty has been situated on the university's Sidgwick Site,[5] in the west of the city.[6]
Professorships
Since the 16th century, the University of Cambridge has seen the institution of numerous professorships in different subject areas, beginning with divinity, civil law, physics, Hebrew, and Greek.
The established chairs in the Faculty of Divinity include the following:
- Lady Margaret's Professor of Divinity (1502)
- Regius Professor of Divinity (1540)
- Norris-Hulse Professor of Divinity (1777), combined in 1934 from the Norrisian Professor (since 1780) and the Hulsean Professor (since 1860)
- Ely Professor of Divinity (1889)
Academics
The Faculty of Divinity is part of the Cambridge Theological Federation, offering academic training not only to the university's own graduates but also to ordinands as well.[7] The current undergraduate degree is called "Theological and Religious Studies," rather than divinity, which reflects the range of topics and diversification in the field covered by the teaching.[8]
