Welcome to Humble Theologian.
Humble Theologian is written for Bible college students, thoughtful Christians and people who want to explore Christian faith carefully without losing sight of humility, discipleship and pastoral care.
This site is for readers who want to take Scripture and theology seriously without turning faith into a competition over who can sound the cleverest. The aim is simple: serious theology without the ego.
The best first pathway
If you are new to the site, I suggest starting here:
- What Is the Gospel?
- What Are the Essential Christian Beliefs?
- How We Got the Bible
- How to Interpret the Bible
- How Should Christians Read Old Testament Law?
That path moves from the good news of Jesus, to core Christian beliefs, to the Bible itself, then to faithful interpretation and one of the harder parts of Christian reading: Old Testament law.
New to Christianity?
Start with the gospel and the core beliefs shared across historic Christianity.
Trying to understand the Bible?
These articles are for readers who want to understand Scripture carefully, not just collect isolated proof texts.
Interested in disability, dignity and church life?
This is one of the more personal parts of the site. It explores disability, dignity, healing, embodiment, accessibility and the role of disabled Christians in the church.
The focus is not only ministry to disabled people, but ministry with and by disabled people.
Exploring disputed doctrines?
Christians disagree about important things. These articles try to explain the issues without turning every disagreement into a fight.
- What Do Christians Believe About Hell?
- Why I Currently Lean Toward Annihilationism
- Soul Sleep and the Hope of Resurrection
- Post-Trib, Premillennial and No Secret Rapture
Where I currently stand
Some articles explain my current theological positions. They are not a creed or a test of fellowship. They are simply a way of being transparent about how I currently read the evidence.
For devotional reading
The main Start Here pathway focuses on core theology and Bible interpretation. If you are looking for devotional reading, the devotional collections are gathered together in one place.
- Devotions - Love as a Verb, Ordinary Faithfulness and Spurgeon Devotionals.
How I write
I write as a Bible college student, church volunteer and developing pastoral care practitioner. These articles are not meant to settle every issue or replace local church wisdom. They are meant to help readers think carefully, read Scripture responsibly and follow Jesus faithfully.
The site will keep growing, but the best next steps are simple:
