What is TTP All About
bible.org What is The Theology Program?
Do you know what you believe and why you believe it?
The Theology Program (TTP) 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.

Who is The Theology Program for?
““If it is your desire to understand what you
believe and why you believe it, then The
Theology Program is for you. Here you will
learn the basic principles of how to think
biblically. Michael and Rhome take theology
from the top shelf and place it where it
belongs—where everyone can reach it.
