Breathers of an Ampler Day -...

Ian Bradley

The Victorians thought, wrote and preached much more about heaven than we do today.

A Jesus-Shaped Life - How Diving...

Lisa Harper, Scot McKnight

When many of us hear the word theology, we conjure up visions of stuffy old guys in dark clothing, scratching a pen across paper (or maybe a quill across parchment!) and assume that it's not for us. But at its most basic, theology is just words (logos) about God (theos). Conversations, if you will, about the most important part of our lives—our good, loving, and grace-filled God. 
 
 
 
With her signature style and humor, bestselling Bible teacher Lisa Harper invites you into this life-changing conversation. She makes theology fun, practical, and applicable, explaining how academic-sounding concepts—such as imago Dei, atonement, the Trinity, the transcendence and immanence of Christ, and much more—are actually daily realities that make an enormous difference in how we live our lives, how we treat other people, and how we understand our own relationship to our Creator. 
 
 
 
If you want to grow closer to God and take a more active role in your community of faith, it's time to take your understanding of God to the next level with sound theology rooted in Scripture. Let Lisa be your (very entertaining) guide!
