theology at Cambridge

Hi, I'm a current first year student at Cambridge studying Theology!
When I was preparing for my interviews, I looked at the reading list on the Divinity Faculty website and chose a few books from there which I thought sounded of particular interest. If you have any specific interests, then have a look what books/essays you can find related to those e.g. I read a book of essays on feminist interpretation of the Bible because I'm interested in religion and feminism.
For something a bit different to just reading books, the Radio 4 In Our Time podcasts are good introduction to some interesting topics within Theology and are only 45 minutes to an hour long. Again, it is a good idea to be guided by your personal interests as this will help you write your personal statement.
Other than the above, I kept up to date with news stories related to Theology and learned the Biblical Hebrew alphabet in preparation for the language paper (they do not expect any prior knowledge of the language, so don't worry too much about this- I was on a gap year so had lots of free time!)
I did my interviews in person, so had a different experience to anyone who interviewed this year. I had two interviews at the college I applied to, one subject based and one more general, and then another subject based interview at a different college. I also did an admissions assessment on the same day.
Hope this helps- please feel free to get in touch if you have any more questions and best of luck!
