TIF - Theological Institute of Finland

TIF

• teaches Theology,
• is engaged in Theological research, including archaeological excavation work,
• is founded on the Bible as the Word of God and on the Confession of the Evangelical Lutheran Church
• supports students of theology in their studies and spiritual life,
• was founded in 1987 by seven organisations of the revival movement and is financed mainly by voluntary contributions.

Why TIF?

• The church needs workers who believe in the Bible,
• The education offered by the state administered universities does not lay a reliable foundation for work in the kingdom of God, it might even demolish the faith in the Word of God and in the validity of Christ's atonement
• There is a need for an alternative tuition, founded on the Bible and the confession of the church

To this end TIF

• Employes a small staff
• Arranges lectures, seminars and courses, often with outside lecturers,
• Offers students opportunities for archaeological field work in Israel,
• Maintains a library at the disposal of students of theology,
• Publishes theological periodicals,
• Offers students of theology in Helsinki a spiritual oasis.
