What is the goal of The Theological?

The goal is to provide sound Biblical teaching for modern Christian, specifically, the layperson. Not every Christian has the means or the desire to attend seminary and receive formal training in that manner. However, that does not mean that training and instruction are not needed or desired. Therefore, The Theological seeks to bridge that gap by providing Christian instruction and exhortation, but in a manner that is readily accessible and easy to digest.

How should I read The Theological?

Since God’s Word is the ultimate authority and truth for all things, it is highly recommended that you compare everything you read here with God’s Word itself. Much like the Bereans examined Scripture when Paul witnessed to them (Acts 17:11), it is highly encouraged study God’s Word individually to ensure that what you read here is consistent with God’s Word. If you are ever faced with a scenario where God’s Word differs from The Theological… side with God’s Word.
