With growing concerns over the increasing Biblical illiteracy revealed in research by The Barna Group, Biola University’s Talbot School of Theology has launched a new blog as a way of making free education available to people, as well as providing a public forum platform.
Updated daily, the “The Good Book Blog,” will be written entirely by seminary faculty and maintained by 30 professors.
“At a time when biblical literacy is at an all-time low, and there are so many muddled, uninformed views of the Bible, something like The Good Book Blog is such a breath of fresh air,” said Brett McCracken, author of Hipster Christianity and regular blogger.
“For a seminary to take its vast academic resources and put it online for the world’s benefit is not only to be lauded, but it’s to be modeled. More schools should be doing things like this.”
By sharing their expertise in different areas such as biblical studies, theology, philosophy, spiritual formation, and Christian education, the professors hope to combat biblical illiteracy, and resource the wider church.
With posts ranging from topics like “Actually Praying” to “Theotechnos: Some Reflections on the Intersection of Social Media and Theology,” The Good Book Blog offers resources to Christians of all levels and backgrounds.
