The School of Theology is our introductory course to theology. It is perfect for anyone who has just completed the Alpha course, for home group leaders and pastors and anyone wanting to deepen their understanding of the Bible, grow their faith and develop as disciples of Jesus Christ. We hope you will join us on Saturday Mornings at St Paul’s Onslow Square.

For those who have just completed Alpha we would recommend doing the Introduction to the Bible in Term 1 or Discipleship in Term 2 as these tracks will be specifically aimed at new Christians.

From September 2011 we re-launched School of Theology and introduced some changes we think you will be excited about. Students are now able to sign up for one term at a time. You can also mix and match the tracks, for instance; doing Bibletrack 1 in term one and Lifetrack 2 in term two. As well as making new friends in each track there is also a chance to get to know people better with an optional lunch after the formal part of the morning has finished.

For an overview of the new tracks please see the information below:

Term 1	Term 1	Term 1
Bibletrack 1: An Introduction to the Bible This is a track for new Christians or students who want a basic overview of the Bible. It will include topics such as ‘The Story of Israel’ and ‘Jesus and the Mission of the Church’.	Faithtrack 1: The Story of the Church In this track we will look at the story of the church through the ages, from the time of Jesus right up to the present age. It includes topics such as ‘The Early Church’ and ‘The Reformation’.	Lifetrack 1: Big Questions This track aims to help us explain our faith better to others and explores issues such as ‘Why do innocent people suffer?’ and ‘Aren't all religions the same?’ It is an introduction into Christian apologetics.
Term 2	Term 2	Term 2
Bibletrack 2: Books of the Bible This track will offer a more advanced look at the books of the Bible for those who have been Christians for some time. It will take a look at the principle books of the Bible, beginning with Genesis and ending with Revelation.	Faithtrack 2: Basic Christian Ideas An introduction to Systematic theology, this track gives a guide to the basic building blocks of Christian belief. This track will include topics such as ‘Sin, Fall and Evil’ and ‘The Trinity’.	Lifetrack 2: Discipleship This track is particularly appropriate for new Christians but will also be helpful to those who have been Christians for some time. It will look at topics such as ‘The Theology and Practice of Prayer’ and ‘Building Christian Character’.
