Scripture and Doctrine Seminar

This year’s theme is “Scripture and the Incommunicable Attributes of God: An Exploration in the Psalter.” Our aim is to examine the extent to which Scripture does or does not undergird the vision of God expressed in classical Christian theism, with the fertile ground of the Psalter providing the soil for our explorations.

The 2019 Scripture and Doctrine Seminar continues a two-year theme addressing the relationship between Scripture and Doctrine via reflections on the doctrine of theological anthropology. In an effort to avoid discussing the Scripture-Doctrine relationship in the abstract, this two-year focus on theological anthropology will serve both to illustrate the relationship between Scripture and Doctrine, and offer constructive and contemporary proposals for theological anthropology. The format will include invited paper presentations followed by respondents and Q&A.
