The Gospel - It's bigger than you think

Is the gospel all about having our sins forgiven so that we can go to heaven when we die? Many of our gospel presentations are about little more than "sin management", as Dallas Willard said. In fact, the gospel of the kingdom that Jesus, Paul and the other New Testament apostles preached is about a whole lot more than that! In this 5th instalment of TLS, Paul Callan does his best to describe just how big the gospel really is...

Trinity - What's the big deal?

In this podcast from "Theology - the Live Sessions", the monthly exploration in theology from King's Church Loughborough, Paul Callan opens up the subject of the Trinity. The nature of God as Trinity is often taken for granted but its far-reaching implications are rarely understood. Quite simply, a proper understanding of Trinity changes everything! It is a great mystery, but profoundly affects every area of life - if we let it. Radical Christianity starts with the very nature of God himself!

Hermeneutics - getting from then and there to here and now

In the third episode in this accessible theology class from King's Church Loughborough, Paul Callan completes a trio of introductory sessions which provide tools to allow us to go deeper in our study of the Bible. With these under our belts, we will be able to move on in future sessions to specific subjects of theology and address them with confidence.
Hermeneutics is the science of how we interpret the Bible for our own time and situation. How does each type of literature in the Bible function as God's word to us? How do we take differences in culture between ourselves and the Bible writers into account? How do we read the Bible well so that we properly understand its message? These questions and more are tackled right here...

The Bible - What it is and what it isn't

Tuesday Oct 17, 2017
In this second session, recorded on 15th October 2017, we look at the Bible and how it works. It is a God-given book but also a fully human one. How do we approach it correctly, does it have any errors in it, and how does the human side to the Bible interact with the divine?
Paul Callan attempts to shed some light on these big and sometimes fiercely contested questions!
