Theology and the Local Church

Public Lecture by Dr Stephen Holmes, Head of Divinity at University of St Andrews.

To celebrate the past 15 years, Dr Stephen Holmes, Head of Divinity at University of St Andrews, gave a public lecture on Biblicist Communities and Academic Theology: Towards Mutual Understanding. We had a wonderful time together, listening to Stephen speaking on the relationship between biblicist churches and academia, and particularly on not discrediting those churches and church founders who – for lack of formal theological education – do not formulate their beliefs using traditional theological ideas and terminology. You can listen to the whole lecture, plus Q&As at the end, below:
