King's Evangelical Divinity School (KEDS) is a UK-based non-denominational theological institution offering distance learning programmes in biblical and theological studies. Established in 1991 as the Midlands Bible Institute, it became King's Evangelical Divinity School in 2008. The school specialises in evangelical theology, hermeneutics, and online theological education for students worldwide.
King's Evangelical Divinity School operates as a registered charity in the United Kingdom.
The principal is Anthony Royle, a biblical scholar specialising in New Testament studies and intertextuality. In 2024, he said that "it seems like 50 per cent of Christian Bible Colleges in the UK will close in the next year or two".
King's Evangelical Divinity School has a particular academic focus on JewishâÂÂChristian relations and biblical studies relating to Israel and the Jewish people.
The school collaborates with Chosen People Ministries, an international mission organisation dedicated to Jewish evangelism and education, to provide resources, teaching, and joint events in JewishâÂÂChristian studies.
The programme is directed by Rubén Gómez, a biblical researcher and specialist in JewishâÂÂChristian relations, who oversees teaching, publications, and student engagement in this area.
King's Evangelical Divinity School produces two podcasts as part of its teaching and outreach activities.
Both podcasts are distributed on platforms including Spotify and YouTube, and are designed to make theological discussion accessible to a wider audience of students, pastors, and interested listeners.
