Much of the online world is a toxic wasteland of addictive, time-sucking, algorithm-optimized rabbit holes. Indeed, part of what’s making us crazy in 2020 is that we’re spending more time online than ever before—and much of that time is decidedly unedifying. But not everything on the internet is terrible, and some time online is time well spent.

Consider TGC’s newly launched collection of nearly 250 theological essays. This impressive array of concise, approachable introductions to theological topics is a treasure trove I strongly suggest you explore. Featuring 102 different authors writing in their areas of expertise, these essays are designed to help Christians around the world grow in biblical and theological literacy. With plans to expand the collection to cover additional doctrines and issues, TGC hopes these essays will become a practical resource for pastors, students, and everyday Christians to more clearly grasp God’s truth in a confusing, post-truth age where the online search bar really is a spiritual battleground.
