Overview

Divinity is the study of Christian theology and ministry at a school, divinity school, university, or seminary. The term is sometimes a synonym for theology as an academic, speculative pursuit, and sometimes is used for the study of applied theology and ministry to make a distinction between that and academic theology. While it most often refers to Christian study which is linked with the professional degrees for ordained ministry or related work, it is also used in an academic setting by other faith traditions. For example, in many traditional British public schools and universities, the term is often used in place of Religious Studies, which deals with religion more broadly, to describe classes that include theology and philosophy in the context of religion as a whole, rather than just the Christian tradition. Areas and specializations Divinity can be divided into several distinct but related disciplines. These vary, sometimes widely, from church to church and from one faith tradition to another, and even among various programs within a particular church. A typical program will include many of the following:

Notable quotes

“In divine works, everything, even obstacles, are means.”
— Joseph de Maistre, Considerations on France (1796), Ch. I
“What moments divine, what rapture serene.”
— Cole Porter, in "Begin the Beguine" in Jubilee (1935).
“Anything divine must come to us in worldly clothing, and so it comes to us altered. The divine is like rain striking the earth, and all our efforts at godliness are therefore muddy—all but those few seconds of complete inundation, the moments that the mystics describe, when we are nothing but rain.”
— Kim Stanley Robinson, Book 9: "Nsara", The Years of Rice and Salt (2002)
“Consider lost all the time in which you do not think of divinity.”
— Sextus the Pythagorean, Selected Sentences, #13
“You seem, Antiphon, to imagine that happiness consists in luxury and extravagance. But my belief is that to have no wants is divine; to have as few as possible comes next to the divine; and as that which is divine is supreme, so that which approaches nearest to its nature is nearest to the supreme.”
— Xenophon, Socrates in Memorabilia, 1.6.1
