Our Theologian in Residence, the Rev. Dr. Luigi Gioia, continues a year-long course to dive into all the main areas of theology: Faith, Scripture, Tradition, God, Christ, Salvation, the Holy Spirit, the Trinity, and the Church – always with an eye to their relevance for spirituality and for everyday life.

Our series on ‘soteriology’, that is on “how we have been saved” led us to reflect on the role of blood in Scripture, the concept of ‘expiation’, the meaning of ‘sacrifice, and the way in which Jesus’ death can be called a sacrifice (all these talks are available on the website in the page dedicated to Sharp Faith). Our next talk will bring all the previous talks to fruition as we look more closely on why Jesus died on the cross. We will explore in particular the notion of ‘atonement’ that is the way in which being saved means being ‘made one’ with God and with one another.

The Adult Education program at Saint Thomas Church offers sound Christian teaching presented with intellectual vigor, teaching that is grounded in Holy Scripture, mediated by the catholic tradition that is the inheritance of Anglicanism and set forth in the Book of Common Prayer. For more information about our theology program and to receive links for weekly Sunday Theology Talks, please contact Fr. Gioia.
