Theology for Parishes
A faith for living, a faith for sharing
Four classes that follow on from GIFT, for those who want to explore how our faith can be better understood through the study of theology: a taster of theological approaches to some major questions.
Some of the material is in the form of notes rather than a full exposition.
God (“Theology Proper”)What is theology anyway? How can we talk about God? Proving the existence of God. How does God act in the world?
Jesus the Christ (Christology)The relationship between God and Jesus. How can Jesus be both human and divine? Does God suffer? How does Christ remain present in the world?
Justice (Social and Liberation Theologies)How does God relate to the poor and oppressed? Individual and social sin. Role and social distinctions. Christianity and politics.
Salvation (Soteriology)What is salvation? How are we saved? Who is saved? What does being saved mean for us?
