Folding Chair Theology
Theology for everyone. The name Folding Chair Theology carries with it a double meaning. On one hand, it is meant to poke a little fun at those who claim the title "armchair theologian," of which I (Bruce) am guilty. It also points to the fact that most of what I've learned about following Jesus, in meaningful and practical ways, was learned in small groups and circles in homes and coffee shops, most often while sitting on a folding chair. Sometimes the best seminary is a living room full of other Christians. Our goal is to offer an understanding of the bible and the study of God in a way that is accessible to everyone, not just the "educated elite."
