Theology for the Rest of Us: Recent Episodes
JR. Forasteros
Mention “theology” and watch everyone shrink back in their chairs. Words like Trinity, Sovereignty and Eschatology scare us away from asking good questions about God, about faith and Christianity. But that’s not how it’s supposed to be! We all talk about God. We’re all theologians, whether we realize it or not. In this class, we’ll rescue theology from the ivory tower. Theology should invite us to know God better.
Theology for the Rest of Us wraps up with a look at the theological family tree of the Nazarene denomination. Along the way, we talk about canonization and inspiration, and a few other rabbit trails!
The Holy Spirit constitutes us as the Church! What is the Church, what is our mission, and where does it all End?!
How does Jesus rescue us from Sin and restore God's House to a state of shalom? This week in Theology for the Rest of Us we cover Christology, Atonement, Righteousness, Justification and more!
What is Sin? It's not merely moral failure or cosmic guilt. Sin is the fracturing of our love relationship with God and others. And it has deadly consequences...
Why did God create the world? What is the nature of the physical world, and what is our relationship to it? What does it mean that we're created in God's image?
Christians believe God is Trinity. But what does that mean? And where do we find that in the Scriptures?
Theology sounds like something reserved for academics and brainiacs. But it's not! Theology means "words about God". So if you talk about God (or even just think about God!), you're a theologian.
The real question is: How do we do theology well?
