About us

Davenant Hall advances and renews Christian wisdom for the digital age. Launched in 2019, our classes allow students to work through classic texts alongside expert guides, developing a firm grasp of God’s Word and his world grounded in the classical Protestant tradition. We offer affordable 10-week courses in the treasures of Scripture, Christian doctrine, and the rich intellectual tradition through which they have flowed down over the centuries–even to the present day.

historical rationale for the Christian doctrine of the triune God.

WHAT STUDENTS ARE SAYING

“As a teacher and program director at a classical school, I find that continuing graduate study with Davenant Hall keeps my mind and heart fed “from the sources” – so I am continually refreshed as I return to my own students each week.”

Maureen (CA), Classical School Teacher
WHAT STUDENTS ARE SAYING

“As a stay-at-home mother of two young children, I didn’t think I had the time or resources to pursue quality theological education. The ability to audit courses through Davenant Hall has offered the depth of study and scholarship I crave, yet with the flexibility and affordability for all seasons of life.”

Kelsey Gentry, Mom and Lay Leader
WHAT STUDENTS ARE SAYING

“I work a full-time job, don’t have a college degree, and I’m not a pastor. Davenant Hall has offered me an invitation to join other Christians on a careful, guided journey of faith seeking understanding”

Isaac, Certificate Student
WHAT STUDENTS ARE SAYING

“The Davenant Institute helped me reevaluate life and resituate my convictions within much stronger intellectual foundations than I was previously used to.

Some helpful topics have included the importance and relevance of natural law in how we ought to live life; how classical theism and the classical doctrine of God is a mighty bulwark against the ways in which our difficult life histories can cause us to project false ideas upon God and upon Scripture; the power of the church calendar and a more historic liturgy.”

WHAT STUDENTS ARE SAYING

“I’m absolutely delighted that I made the decision to study at Davenant Hall. Each week, I’m guided toward the most influential theologians and philosophers in the Christian tradition, and supported to understand them by subject experts from around the globe. The fact that I can do this in a way that is both flexible and affordable makes Davenant Hall truly unique.”

Davenant Distinctives

A New Republic
of Letters

Here at Davenant Hall, we are seeking to re-imagine the medieval university and the early modern republic of letters for the digital age. By harnessing the new powers of the internet to offer effective and flexible online instruction, and the old practices of in-person fellowship and mentorship to seek wisdom together in community, we are building an army of friends to take on the challenges of the twenty-first century.

OUR Instructors

MEET OUR FACULTY

At Davenant Hall, our expert faculty members convene classes on their areas of specialization, while rooting them within the broader tradition of Christian thought. This is just one of the ways we are recreating the medieval university for the digital age.
