I’ve decided I need a breather from writing the chapters in my Systematic Theology on creation and anthropology. They are thrilling to write as the contrast between a classical approach to creation and a modern one makes for quite a story. Nevertheless, I need to let them marinate for a bit. I write in such a way that I let chapters sit for some time so that I can come back and evaluate them with fresh eyes.

For over a millennium and a half the church across the globe has gathered together to confess the Trinity of the Nicene Creed. Across the Great Tradition this creed has proved to be a center around which the church unites as well as a guardrail that keeps the church from drifting into false doctrine.

One of the unique features of the Credo Conference are Anselm Houses. These breakout sessions are led by the main speakers and others, where a classical text is read aloud and discussed as a group. These Anselm Houses are groups where “faith seeking understanding” is practiced. Join Matthew Barrett, Michael Horton, Fred Sanders, Kevin DeYoung, Gavin Ortlund, and Michael Reeves May 1-2 in Washington D.C. for this unique opportunity to worship and contemplate our triune God in community.

It can be tempting to plow right over deep, complicated passages in a classical text, but I find they often present us with an opportunity to contemplate a great mystery. I am writing the chapter on the image of God in my Systematic Theology, and I keep returning to a paragraph in Athanasius’s On the Incarnation. Each time I read it I find myself thinking about it from another angle.

I'm hiding away to prepare my message for the Credo Conference, so I will be off social media for a short time. I'll be speaking on inseparable operations. My breakout is on Aquinas. I just found out we're almost sold out of tickets. Register: https://t.co/2je4r3Tvvl https://t.co/0ArPHXiJWc

When CS Lewis warned against chronological snobbery he said the advantage of old books is they ask different questions than we do. We regurgitate questions we're comfortable with but the Great Tradition asks questions we've never considered before. Who better than Aquinas? He https://t.co/1HHbrR3UiS
