The Stockholm School of Theology (Teologiska Högskolan i Stockholm) is an independent school for theology in Stockholm, Sweden, sponsored by the two free church denominations the Baptist Union of Sweden and the Mission Covenant Church of Sweden.
The institution has been accredited by the Swedish National Agency for Higher Education to award tertiary degrees in the field of Theology (teologie kandidat, Bachelor of Divinity).
The school declares an ecumenical ambition and students include future pastors in the two sponsoring denominations, but also a sizable group training for clerical positions in the Church of Sweden, as well as others.

“... the generation of the 20’s was truly secular in that it still knew its theology and its varieties of religious experience. We are post-secular, inventing new faiths, without any sense of organizing truths. The truths we accept are so multiple that honesty becomes little more than a strategy by which you manage your tendencies toward duplicity.”
—Ann Douglas (b. 1942)
