Theodio (theology + audio) began as a gift in 2014. My pastor’s birthday was approaching. I wanted to give him a thoughtful gift. Several times he had mentioned how much he loved the sermon “The Expulsive Power of a New Affection” by Thomas Chalmers, an English Puritan. I’m also an audiobook narrator, so I decided to create an original recording for him. You can hear it for free on SoundCloud.
My pastor loved the recording, and I loved creating it. So I made another, of Jonathan Edwards’ “A Divine and Supernatural Light.” It’s also available free.
I loved bringing these works of classic theology into the present through audio, and I wondered who else might be doing it. As it turned out, hardly anyone was. And that’s when I realized what I had to do.
I believe there are three reasons why people don’t read classic theological works.
My goal with Theodio is to overcome these barriers through three solutions.
I’m not an expert on classic theology. But as I explore these rich resources for the first time, I’m asking you to join me on my journey. My hope is that, as we learn together, Theodio will become your premier destination for encountering classic theology in rich community.
