The Curriculum
9 tracks, 328 lessons planned. 9 are open now, with 328 lessons written in full. Start with any of them.
Old Testament Survey
Walk the whole Hebrew Bible from Genesis to Malachi - Torah, Prophets and Writings - and learn to read it as one unfolding story of covenant.
11 modules · 58 lessons
New Testament Survey
Gospels, Acts, the Pauline and general epistles, and Revelation, set in their first-century Jewish and Greco-Roman world.
7 modules · 38 lessons
Hermeneutics
The discipline of interpretation. Genre, context, authorial intent, and the difference between what a text meant and what it means.
5 modules · 24 lessons
Biblical Hebrew
The alphabet, vocabulary, and verb system of the Old Testament, worked directly from the Hebrew text rather than through translation.
9 modules · 46 lessons
Koine Greek
The common Greek of the New Testament. Paradigms, syntax, and enough grammar to weigh a translator's decisions for yourself.
9 modules · 44 lessons
Systematic Theology
Doctrine gathered under headings - God, humanity, Christ, salvation, church, last things - with the texts each doctrine rests on.
8 modules · 40 lessons
Homiletics
Preaching. Moving from exegesis to a sermon that is faithful to the text, clear in structure, and aimed at a real congregation.
5 modules · 22 lessons
Apologetics
Giving a reasoned account of Christian faith, and answering the objections that are actually raised rather than the easy ones.
5 modules · 26 lessons
Christian Ethics
How Scripture forms moral judgment - work, wealth, justice, sexuality, violence, and the care of creation.
6 modules · 30 lessons
“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.”Hosea 4:6
There are more pastors without formal training than with it. This school exists to close that gap.
How it works
Full seminary tracks
Survey, languages, hermeneutics, systematics, homiletics, apologetics and ethics. The residential curriculum, without the residence.
AI Theology Tutor
For members: a tutor that knows the lesson you are in, cites the Hebrew and the Greek, and lays out each tradition at its strongest where Christians disagree.
Listen to any lesson
Every lesson can be read aloud, at the speed you choose. Study on the bus, in the field, or with tired eyes.
Built for every nation
Low-bandwidth by design. No video is needed to finish a track, because a student on a slow connection deserves the same seminary.
A certificate for every track
Finish a track as a member and receive a certificate of completion. On a church plan, it is co-signed by your church's leader.
Study as a church
Church plans give your teachers and leaders a seat each, and give you a dashboard to see how they are getting on.
Enrollment is open.
No fee, no application, no entrance requirement. Open the first lesson and begin.
