Our mission

I believe Christian formation demands intellectual honesty — so I help independent learners study theology, history, and Scripture with graduate-level rigor and genuine depth.

Graduate School of Christian Studies

Meet Theoria

T

Theoria exists because serious Christian learners deserve more than survey-level content. Too many theology resources either assume no prior knowledge or stay permanently in the shallows — accessible, perhaps, but not formative. What I offer is different: graduate-caliber engagement with Scripture, doctrine, and church history, designed for learners who are ready to do the actual work.

Every course here is built around a coherent argument and a real body of scholarship. Whether you are tracing the ecumenical councils, examining the historical case for the resurrection, working through Paul's letter to the Romans, or studying Christian America from colonial settlements to the present, you will be reading primary sources, wrestling with competing theological positions, and building your own well-reasoned conclusions — not simply absorbing someone else's summary.

The curriculum spans systematic theology, biblical studies, apologetics, and the full sweep of church history — from the Desert Fathers to the Radical Reformation, from Christology to eschatology. You can pursue individual courses at your own pace or follow one of the structured certificate paths: New Testament, Apologetics, History of Christianity, or Systematic Theology. Either way, the standard stays the same.

If you have ever wanted to study theology the way it was meant to be studied — carefully, honestly, with real sources and real questions — this is the place to do it. You do not need a seminary building. You need the right curriculum and the commitment to engage it seriously.

Our ethos

  1. Theology deserves to be taught from primary sources and real scholarship, not paraphrased into safety — because learners who wrestle with the actual texts come away with convictions that hold.
  2. Hard questions about evil, miracles, the resurrection, and the existence of God should be engaged with the strongest possible versions of every argument, not dismissed or avoided.
  3. Rigorous academic study and sincere Christian faith are not in tension — the great tradition of theological scholarship, from Athanasius to Augustine to N. T. Wright, demonstrates that careful thinking deepens rather than undermines faithful belief.
