ABSTRACT
One of the common ways of exemplifying the relationship between morality and religion is to point to the fact that in the western world, for generations, the two were inextricably entwined. The institutions of higher education have a range of names: theology, religious studies, biblical studies, divinity, religious education. This transitional phenomenon is symptomatic of the way in which educational philosophy has made its mark on the traditions. It is illuminating to look first at the content of Theology/Religious Study courses in universities in England and Wales. The aspect relates to the steady increase in English universities of the use of theology as a subsidiary study, and of the concept of joint honors courses with theology as an equal partner. A group of theological teachers in a report called 'Doing Theology Today' have some interesting observations and descriptions that merit a wider audience, and exemplify the thinking which animates these professionals.
