Study Theology On-line For Free

On-line Courses for a Certificate (Not an Academic Degree)

This is a detailed list of on-line programs for self education that are free or partially free by which you can study different parts of Christian theology on-line BUT NO ACADEMIC DEGREE is granted. So they are pretty much like a Bible School. However the usefulness of such on-line self education is enormous. If you already study somewhere for an academic degree then this will help you in your academic studies. If you plan to study theology then this will equip you and prepare you for the future study. If you live in a country where it is not possible to find any theological school or you can't afford one this is a meaningful alternative.
