Christian Theology for Beginners, Sceptics and In Between

From 84.55 C$ /h

Christian theology can come across opaque and daunting at first glance. However, what is essentially contained in this discipline is the intellectual engagement of what one's life is all about in the wider context of God, creation and the afterlife in a manner that deals centrally with a relationship, a person, that confronts and addresses us. Whether one is only exploring it as a new Christian or as a sceptic, or anything in between, you are encouraged to come consider some of life's biggest questions through a more dialogical setting.

This class does not aim to convert or convince, but only seeks to help spur you on the journey of exploring what is truth and who you are in the given web of relationships.

About Me

I'm Malaysian who has had around a decade long of experience as a minister. Having worked in a multi-cultural, multi-religious and multi-racial context, I have been exposed to embracing people as they are. I am keen to help people on their journey of intellectual curiosity within their particular context and culture in knowing what matters to life.
I am currently about to finish my masters in systematic and historical theology at the University of St Andrews and would begin my PhD in the same discipline at the University of Edinburgh this fall.
The primary reason to study this field is because of my passion to journey with people from all walks of life in their thinking of life's biggest questions and fears. I aim not to offer cheap answers and desire students to likewise thirst for questions that wouldn't be easily resolved.

Basic knowledge about Islam:

Doctrine ('Aqeedah):
- The Muslim believes in Allah. Who is that?
- The Muslim believes in the Angels. Who are they? and who created them?
- The Muslim believes in all the heavenly books. Which are they?
- The Muslim believes in all prophets. Also in Jesus and Moses. How is that possible?
- The Muslim believes in the Last Day. What does that mean? What comes after this day?
- The Muslim believes in fate. Is everything already described? Did everything have to happen to us the way it happened?

Jurisprudence (Fiqh):
- (in the making)

Learn more about God as you go through your day. Learn about who he is, Who he created you to be and how you can work each day to better understand the bible and live in the way God called and created us to live.

Daily Devotions, Q&A and confidence building (because you cannot love others the way you are called to, if you cannot first love yourself) and more.

Jesus Christ is the foundation of Christianity. What was his mission? Why did he have so much spiritual power to heal the most sick and resurrect the dead? What really is active faith?
I will first offer you a course which will be more of a sharing of your questions with answers in the Bible. Then, depending on your needs, we can develop a tailor-made program or one followed according to the fundamental principles of Christianity.

Tutoring Philosophy and Theology aimed at students of any age or ability within the subjects of Religious studies, Philosophy and Theology.
The content with my skill set and preexisting knowledge can easily be applied to the Scottish Higher system but I am comfortable teaching anything up until the undergraduate level including A level's, GCSE's and any other qualification.

These lessons will be interactive and enhance your learning about Theology, Religious Studies and History. You will be pushed to think more deeply about these topics and what their repercussions are for our society today. 2000 years ago, there was no such thing as 'secular'. Rituals were a common daily occurrence across the globe. How can it be that we have come to live in a wholly 'secular' society? What are the religious foundations of western society, and how has this shaped the formation of women's rights, LGBTQ+ rights and the rights of ethnic minorities?

You want a passionate caring and flexible Biology teacher? Here you got it. I have handled this subject for more than 10 years , with impressive results. I am the kind of a teacher who knows how to identify the potential of every individual learner and bring the best out of them.
I also handle Agriculture and what captures my students' performance is "splendid". I am also trained in Theology and as many as want to be helped in this area should equally reach out.

Delve into the writings of the early Christian Church Fathers with this specialized course in Patristic Greek. Designed for students with a foundational knowledge of Koine Greek, this course offers an in-depth exploration of the language and theological concepts found in the texts of key patristic authors such as Athanasius, Gregory of Nyssa, and John Chrysostom. Other texts can be selected according to the student's interest.

Through close reading and analysis of primary sources, you will gain proficiency in the unique linguistic features of Patristic Greek, including its vocabulary, syntax, and stylistic nuances. The course emphasizes the theological, philosophical, and historical contexts of these writings, allowing you to engage with the doctrinal developments and ecclesiastical debates that shaped early Christianity.

Course topics include the study of homilies, theological treatises, letters, and creeds, with a focus on understanding the exegetical methods and rhetorical strategies employed by the Church Fathers. Additionally, you will explore how Patristic Greek differs from the Koine Greek of the New Testament, and how it reflects the evolving intellectual and spiritual life of the early Church.

Ideal for students of theology, church history, and classical studies, this course equips you with the skills to read and interpret Patristic texts in their original language, deepening your appreciation for the enduring legacy of the Church Fathers in Christian thought and tradition.

At least some prior knowledge of Koine Greek required.

May the peace, mercy, and blessings of God be upon you. I am pleased to present to you a reading and analysis of the texts of the holy books of the people of monotheism.
Maybe I'll start from Isaiah's prophecy.
And it shall come to pass in the latter days, that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills, and all nations shall flow unto it. 3And many peoples shall come, and they shall say, Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob: and he shall teach us his ways, and we shall walk in his paths. For out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

Recent graduate of Oxford University, theology and religion. A*s in A levels and 9s at gcses.
Will provide high level tutoring in any subject (ks2-4, gcse, a level etc) related to my degree subject. These include Religious studies, ethics, philosophy, politics, english (literature at a-level, lit and lang gcse). Can offer subject specific teaching, but also more generally essay writing practice, as well as oxbridge interview, personal statement, and entrance exam help, particularly for students in the state sector. While I cannot guarantee success, I will do my best to relay my experiences and hopefully provide students with helpful guidance.
Classes will be catered specifically according to each student, however I will often ask for them to come along with recent examples of written work, or practice papers/questions.

This course explores the rich theological tradition of Byzantium, focusing on the development of Eastern Orthodox thought from the early Church Fathers through the fall of Constantinople in 1453. We will examine key themes such as the Trinity, Christology, the role of icons, liturgy, apophatic theology, and the relationship between Church and Empire. Major theologians—such as Gregory of Nazianzus, Maximus the Confessor, John of Damascus, and Gregory —will be studied in their historical and spiritual context. Through close reading of primary texts and modern interpretations, students will gain a deeper understanding of how Byzantine theology shaped the life and identity of Eastern Christianity and continues to resonate in contemporary theological discourse.
