8. You get to learn big words like prolegomena and epistemology and soon find yourself using them, in the right context, only to be met with quizzical looks from people to which you say them.

7. You get to put things in a concentric circle. And I mean come on, that just sounds like fun doesn’t it?!?! Continue Reading »

Introduction to Christian Apologetics: Online Course


I wanted to let you know that we have an exciting opportunity for you in the upcoming year. Rob Bowman will be teaching an online elective for The Theology Program on Christian Apologetics. This will be a great opportunity for you to take a course in apologetics taught by one of the most prominent apologists in Evangelical Christianity today.

The classes will be on Monday evenings from 10PM - 11:30PM EST. They begin on February 4th and then wrap up April 7th. (The fourth week’s class will be a special 3 hour session beginning at 8:30pm)

If you have a desire to learn more about what we as Christians believe and you want to better equip yourself to answer those challenging questions which unbelievers ask then this is a great chance for you to do that. Also, this would make a great Christmas gift for anyone in your life who loves apologetics or is in need of learning more about the Christian faith.

The Church’s failure to reach the younger generation

Read this article.

Notice in particular this statement: ““Unless something drastic is done now, the Church will lose a whole generation of leadership” to the infotainment industry, he warned.”

This is happening. People are not finding solutions in most local churches today.   Continue Reading »

Comfort for the confused theologian

Howard Hendricks tells us, “All true learning only occurs after you are thoroughly confused.” Coming from a conservative Christian respected for challenging people in their teaching an learning, I hope that this would serve as a comfort for those of you who struggle with doing theology in such a way as presented here at RMM. It is very important that we realize that breaking the building of our theology down in order to build it back up is not easy. I tell everyone upon taking a TTP course that he most difficult thing about truly doing theology is not the big terms, papers, or theologians that you have to study, it is thinking in such a way that you are truly ready to let go of all you believe so that your beliefs can have intellectual integrity. This takes thick skin, thin skin, patience, Advil, and a presupposed trust in the value of challenging yourself.

I am not in the business of confirming anyones prejudice, even my own. Granted, the confirmation of prejudice business when it comes to theology is comforting, assures me of much sought “Amen” from my listeners, and helps bring in the big donations, but it would be unfaithful to my calling.

 If you are discouraged, disheartened, and confused for a time while doing theology, take heart. True learning always requires such. Your wounds will be healed and your faith will be strengthened.

Introduction to Theology Session 1

What is The Theology Program anyway? What is our approach to studying theology? Does TTP take the “we’re right, your wrong” approach? Or does it approach theology more peaceably, letting the students make up their own mind? Am I smart enough to take this course? These are all important questions that this first session seeks to answer. This session presents a basic understanding of the importance of the study of theology and the purpose of The Theology Program. The “rules of engagement” will set the stage for all future TTP sessions, arguing that theology is best done with an irenic (peaceable) approach, interacting with Christian doctrine and other belief systems in a gracious manner, allowing the student to make up their own mind when all of the evidence has been accurately presented.
