About Us Image

the·ol·o·gy - noun, the study of God and religious truth; rational inquiry into the existence and nature of the divine.

The Theology Forum was originally set up simply as an informal group of Bible teachers who were also friends - meeting to discuss and debate theological and biblical issues of interest. It didn’t take long to realise that this group’s activity had potential to help others in the wider christian community.
 
Mick Taylor leads the Theology Forum on behalf of the Newfrontiers Team. Adrian Birks, Matthew Hosier and Andrew Wilson are the other members of the core team meeting together regularly to help shape theological thought. The current arrangement involves selecting a couple of topics each year that we feel are of particular relevance at that time. These papers are then written and subjected to serious reflection and debate before they are presented to teams across the UK and published on the web for others to access.
 
In addition to the more substantial papers we’ve also wanted to be able to publish regular pithy comment on a range of theological areas; responding more quickly to topical issues. Therefore we’ve set up what you think matters as a home for both our papers and blog content.
 
Our blog will have contributions from a wide range of authors. Some of these will feature more regularly, while others will offer rare appearances. The articles themselves will be the opinion of the individual author, rather than the official Newfrontiers line. Our hope is that what we post will both serve those who are part of Newfrontiers and connect with the wider evangelical world. We believe we have theologically cogent things to say, and this blog provides a forum for that.
 
Most of our contributors will be UK based, but there will also be posts from overseas, giving what you think matters a more international view than is normally the case with theology blogs. Also, almost all of our contributors are working at the coalface of church life, so what we write is forged in the furnace of teaching and pastoring the people of God. While some posts will be academic in style, none of them will be merely academic, detached from real life.
 
Peter writes to the churches under his care in order to “stimulate you to wholesome thinking” (2 Pet 3:1). Our hope is to do just that! So we invite you to explore the blog and the papers; engage in dialogue; and share with others; because we believe that what you think really does matter.
