Provoking Thought. Inspiring Faith.

Welcome

Greg Boyd is a former atheist who surrendered his life to Christ in 1974. After his conversion, he discovered that the faith he embraced failed to address many questions and objections to Christianity. Greg’s search for a well-grounded and intellectually defensible faith led him to study philosophy at the University of Minnesota (B.A.), followed by studies in philosophical theology at Yale Divinity School (M.Div) and Princeton Theological Seminary (Ph.D). He then became a professor of theology for 16 years at Bethel University and is currently the senior pastor of Woodland Hills Church in St. Paul, Minnesota.

While often known for his dynamic and persuasive speaking style, Greg is also an internationally recognized theologian, an apologist and an author. Some of his beliefs have been highly controversial in traditional evangelical circles, but have had a transforming impact on many lives.

He has authored or co-authored 18 books, as well as written many articles for academic books and journals. His books include the best selling and award winning Letters From a Skeptic and The Myth of a Christian Nation. Greg has also been featured on the front page of The New York Times, The Charlie Rose Show, CNN, National Public Radio, the BBC and other media venues.

Through his unique blend of passion, boldness, and intellectual insight, Greg’s vision is to provoke thinking in both Christians and non-believers that will hopefully inspire a deeper faith in and understanding of God and Christ. The goal of this site is to further that vision.
