Everybody does theology, whether they know it or not. Anytime we ask a question about God, we are doing theology.
Theology Talks is a monthly discussion about different theological topics. Each month, a list of resources will be placed on this page for the upcoming discussion. As the learner, you can read/listen to/digest as much or as little of the information as you have time for in order to prepare for the class. The more you take in ahead of time, the more you will learn and be able to contribute to the discussion. But its up to you!
