Primer

Primer is our theological resource aimed at gospel workers and church leadership teams. Produced in conjunction with Oak Hill College and edited by David Shaw, each issue of Primer focuses on one area of theology, surveying current debates alongside historical perspectives, and drawing applications for ministry today.

Primer is produced every six months and is available online from 10ofThose and at events via the 10ofThose bookstall.
