A guided reading and tutorial summer school 

All sessions are online, meeting at 6pm (British Summer Time) for 1.5 hours. 

The price is £150. To register email stephen@tenttheology.com

Numbers will be restricted so as to preserve the conversational, informal, and informative nature of the tutorials. 

Apart from doing the readings, there are no set assignments. 

Participants are not expected to have prior theological education; however, you will be expected to engage with academically rigorous texts many of which are considered core in the field.

A main point of the tutorials is to provide a guide through these texts.

The readings are between 20 and 30 pages. 

They are ordered according to importance for the tutorial. Definitely read the text marked “1” and try to read the others.  

All the readings and materials will be provided.
