The academy
Serious theology, taught well, for educated beginners.
Oxford Theology Academy exists to teach the Christian tradition the way it should be taught: slowly, beautifully, and from primary sources — without assuming a seminary degree.
Each course is six to eight lectures of thirty to forty-five minutes. You can watch on any device, return to lectures as often as you like, and book a one-to-one Oxford-style tutorial with our resident tutor.
Taught by Ashby Neterer, Tutor of Theology, Oriel College, Oxford.
