Featured Resource | Justin Barrett Offers Psychology for Theology
Maybe the idea of psychology being a tool for doing theology is a real head-scratcher for you. Our TheoPsych project was designed to nurture work right at the intersection of those disciplines. A full suite of online learning resources will be available soon, but in the meantime, enjoy this talk from Justin Barrett about how theologians might embrace psychology for more robust insight.
Featured Resource | Oliver Crisp & Tom Oord in Conversation: Tradition, Providence, and Christ
During our seminar on the two natures of Christ, we brought together two very different theologians to explore their contrasting takes on big topics of the Christian faith. What are the salient features of their respective traditions (Wesleyanism and Calvinism respectively)? How do they think about God’s providence? And then how do they see Jesus as fully human, and also divine? Listen here.

Our friends at the organizations listed are always working to produce excellent resources for helping us on our journey of understand God, the world, and ourselves.
