Start Here

Theology in Focus exists to restore theological literacy to the Body of Christ. Dr. Peter J. Carter, a pastor, theologian, and church historian with more than 29 years in ministry, teaches verse by verse through the books of the Bible, walks through the story of the church from the apostles to the modern era, and defends the faith with reason, evidence, and Scripture. Everything here is free. The recommended path below moves from first steps to deeper study.

1. Begin with Galatians: Grace vs. Law

Paul's letter to the Galatians is the clearest starting point for understanding the gospel of grace. The complete series walks through the letter lesson by lesson. Start the Galatians series.

2. Meet the early church

Christian belief did not appear in a vacuum. The church history teachings trace how the faith was preserved, tested, and handed down. Explore church history.

3. Go deeper with the written studies

The blog carries in-depth written articles on doctrine, church history, and the Christian life, written to help readers think more clearly about what they believe and why. Read the blog.

New teachings are published on the YouTube channel, and the audio lives on the podcast. For questions, the Questions and Answers page is open to everyone, and the contact form reaches the ministry directly. To join the Study Desk newsletter, the signup lives on the homepage.
