The new medium of the internet offers possibilities for teaching Theology unforeseen by previous generations of theological scholars. In this paper, the authors explore some difficulties inherent in such theological “education”. Seven issues are identified and briefly discussed, relating each to the matter of theological training by means of the internet: critical, insightful reading of information on the internet; breadth rather than depth of content; the matter of space and context; the ideology of almost unlimited student numbers taught by a small group of lecturers; the problem of miscommunication; the social dimensions to learning; the use of an “all-rounder” versus a team of different experts.
