chris•tor•i•a (n.)
Pronunciation: kris-TOR-ee-uh
Ok, so you won't find Christoria in the dictionary. It wasn't exactly a word in the English lexicon, but we've now made it one!
The word is a portmanteau, or blend word, formed from Christ + theoria.
Christ comes from the Greek word meaning "Messiah" or "Anointed One," a Jewish prophetic and eschatological concept referring to a political-religious figure selected by God to restore Israel and rule the world. The central confession of Christian faith – from the birth of the Church until now – is that Yeshua of Nazareth is "Lord" and "Christ" (Matthew 16:16; Acts 2:36; Philippians 2:9-11). Jesus is His name. Christ is His seat.
Theoria is a Greek word meaning "contemplation." In Eastern theology, theoria specifically refers to the "vision of God," whereby one's inner being beholds the Lord and one's whole being encounters Him. For Eastern Christians, one cannot be a real theologian nor can one truly become like their Father in heaven until they have experienced theoria.
So what's our meaning of "christoria"?

Our Educational Model
We offer a variety of courses to help you think theologically. We'll journey through diverse subject areas, from liberation theology to spiritual warfare, from ancient Church councils to present-day social issues, all with the aim of seeing Jesus Christ – and seeing how He sees – in a deeper way.
Most of our courses will include 4-6 modules, each of which are designed to help you complete one module per week with a 2-3 hour weekly time commitment. However, our courses are self-paced, meaning that you can complete them as rapidly or as slowly as you'd like. Your Christoria enrollment subscription gives you access to all available courses, and new courses are added on a monthly basis.
Are you ready? Jump in! We'll see you in the classroom!
