Keble Admissions Webinars:

These sessions are open to students at any UK state school, and there are two dedicated sessions for parents/carers.

Keble Theology Essay Prize

Great to have on a personal statement, even if you just apply to do it. It can show your passion and interest in the subject. It is open to sixth form students until Friday 9^th June. Cash prizes are on offer for the best response of up to 1500 words to one of the following questions:

1. What does the concept of creation ex nihilo tell us about the nature of God?

2. Can contemporary times be described as ‘a secular age’?

3. In what sense, if any, is religious faith rational?

4. Who/What is the most important in the interpretation of biblical texts: the author, the text, the reader(s), or something else altogether?

5. Given that God is agreed to be unknowable, how have theologians justified claims to have knowledge of God?

Full details and an entry form are available here. The Outreach team are particularly keen to encourage students from the state sector to enter this competition!
