St Martin in the Fields Church in London is offering a free online course of 10 modules, following the chapters of Sam Wells’ 2025 book, ‘Constructing An Incarnational Theology’.
Why did Jesus come? The traditional argument is that he came to redeem us from sin and destroy death, and thus reverse the fall. Many have long found this unsatisfactory, because it centres human deficit, rather than divine abundance. In this study, Samuel Wells traces his notion of ‘being with’ right into the Trinity itself, and in dialogue with Maximus the Confessor, Duns Scotus and Karl Barth, among others, articulates a truly Christocentric theology in which God’s means and God’s ends are identical.
The course will run on Thursday evenings, from January 8th to March 12th from 5 to 6pm GMT (6 to 7pm CET), and will be delivered by Zac Zoons. The course will be free and no prior theological understanding is required.
