Theological Study Center
Friday, 09 October 2009 10:23
Founders Study Center is the online ministerial training academy of Founders Ministries. The primary goal of the Study Center is to provide resources for men in the field who are serving in the gospel ministry or pursuing the gospel ministry. The teaching offered by the Study Center reflects a commitment to the Doctrines of Grace and their experiential application to the local church, particularly in the areas of worship and witness. The Study Center takes as its theological framework the first recognized confession of faith that Southern Baptists produced, The Abstract of Principles. We desire to encourage the return to and promulgation of the biblical gospel that our Southern Baptist forefathers held dear.

Biblical Training has assembled an impressive group of scholars who offer high quality Biblical and theological education to a broad audience that may not have access to such learning opportunities. Moreover, Biblical Training is to be commended for making this rich evangelical repository available at no cost to the learner."
The Theology Program
Friday, 09 October 2009 09:35
Most simply put, The Theology Program (TTP) is on a mission to reclaim the mind for Christ by equipping people, churches, and pastors, to understand and defend the Christian faith.
The Theology Program is a program of Christian theology (study of God) and apologetics (defending the faith) created with all believers in mind.
TTP seeks to give people who may never have the time, ability, or circumstances that allow them to attend full-time seminary the same opportunity to study the great and rich Christian heritage of truth. Here, you will learn theology historically, biblically, and irenically (in a peaceful manner). The contents of TTP are created from a broadly evangelical perspective, engaging other traditions in a persuasive yet gracious manner. In short, we seek to help people think theologically by understanding what they believe and why they believe it. (See here to further explore our theological method.)
We believe that all people are created in the image of God and therefore able and desirous to engage in a deep level of theological training that has traditionally only been offered at seminaries. TTP courses are designed with you in mind, walking you step by step through this comprehensive program.
If you have ever asked these questions, then this is the program for you:
-
How do we know what books belong in the Bible?
-
Do all religions lead to God?
-
So many churches—what is the big difference?
-
Why does everyone seem to interpret the Bible differently?
-
The doctrine of the Trinity—can someone please explain this to me?
-
Is the DaVinci code fiction or reality?
-
Why should I study theology?
-
So many versions of the Bible... Which one do I use?
-
What about those who have never heard about Christ, can they still make it to heaven?
-
Why does God allow bad things to happen?
-
What is the difference between Protestants and Roman Catholics?
-
Can we be sure that Christ rose from the grave?
A Call for Theological Triage and Christian Maturity

A Call for Theological Triage and Christian Maturity
By Dr. Albert Mohler (President of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary)
In every generation, the church is commanded to "contend for the faith once for all delivered to the saints." That is no easy task, and it is complicated by the multiple attacks upon Christian truth that mark our contemporary age. Assaults upon the Christian faith are no longer directed only at isolated doctrines. The entire structure of Christian truth is now under attack by those who would subvert Christianity's theological integrity.
Today's Christian faces the daunting task of strategizing which Christian doctrines and theological issues are to be given highest priority in terms of our contemporary context. This applies both to the public defense of Christianity in face of the secular challenge and the internal responsibility of dealing with doctrinal disagreements. Neither is an easy task, but theological seriousness and maturity demand that we consider doctrinal issues in terms of their relative importance. God's truth is to be defended at every point and in every detail, but responsible Christians must determine which issues deserve first-rank attention in a time of theological crisis.
