About

Theology After 5: The God Who Saves – Exodus and Salvation

Leave the inbox, get some insight

Looking for a chance to step back from the week and think more deeply about God’s saving work? Welcome to Theology After 5, a relaxed yet stimulating series designed for anyone who wants to explore profound theological themes after their workday. Our new course, The God Who Saves – Exodus and Salvation, begins on Tuesday, 21st October and continues for 6 weeks with a break on the 11th of November. Open to anyone willing to engage in thoughtful theological reflection.

What Is Theology After 5?

Theology After 5 makes rich theological discussions accessible to everyone. Whether you’re considering formal study or simply curious about Christian thought, this series offers an inviting space to explore, ask questions, and think deeply—without pressure or prerequisites.

Why “The God Who Saves – Exodus and Salvation”?

The Exodus story shows us fundamental aspects of God’s character, saving, remembering promises, and abiding presence.

This course will trace the theme of salvation in Exodus and explore its significance for Christian faith today. Together we’ll consider:

– What does it mean to call God “saviour”?
– How does Exodus shape our imagination of freedom and justice?
– What does salvation look like in scripture, and what does it mean for us now?

What’s Involved?

The hope for our time together is great conversation, not a lecture. Each week you’ll prepare with 1–2 hours of reading or video content before the session. This material will lay the groundwork for lively in-person discussions and activities. The more you prepare, the more you’ll get out of it.

Weekly Sessions

Start date: Tuesday, 21st of October
Schedule: 21st Oct, 28th Oct, 4th Nov, (no class on the 11th Nov), 18th Nov, 25th Nov, 2nd Dec
Time: 5:30–7pm
Location: The Anglican Centre, 95 Tuam St
– Cheese, crackers, and hot/cold drinks available from 5pm

Each session builds on the last, so regular attendance is encouraged—but don’t worry if you miss a week; you’ll still be able to join in.

What You’ll Gain

– A deeper understanding of the biblical theme of salvation
– Fresh insight into Exodus as Christian scripture
– Tools for thoughtful theological reflection
– A welcoming, conversational space to explore faith
