CHRISTIAN THEOLOGY

The word "theology" comes from the Greek term "theos," meaning "God".  It is the study of God.  These resources will help you learn more about the Christian God and doctrine.  Take a look through the resources below and decide what subjects interest you most.  If you are new to the Christian faith, we would recommend that you begin with the "Christianity 101" podcast series, a basic introduction to what Christianity is all about.  Next to each item below is a code to let you know whether it is an article (A), podcast (P), or blog discussion (B).  If you have questions about anything, please send an e-mail to Ten Minas President Ken Coughlan and he would be glad to help.
