Theosis: Orthodox Bible Study

The largest Christian learning platform. And more than a library: Theosis takes you by the hand.

2,308 books of the Church Fathers are overwhelming if nobody tells you where to start. That is what Theosis does. You say what interests you and you get a curriculum that fits, adjusted week by week. 32,000 hours of it are read aloud, so your curriculum keeps running on the way to work.

"I love the app, I've had nothing but a great experience with it."

"Good app to dive deep into the Bible."

YOU ARE TAKEN BY THE HAND
