The Revival of Classical Education

Jul 30, 2024 | credomag.com | Timothy Gatewood |Christopher Green |Dale Ahlquist |Gregory Wilbur

Education’s brightest future is grounded in its ancient past. Classical education, in which students are formed by the Great Books and classical virtues, is experiencing a renaissance. It’s true, the difference between a classical model of education and its modern counterparts could not be more stark, but the contributors to this issue of Credo Magazine recommend the classical model most of all for its holistic formation of its students.
Wholesome Protestant Doctrine

God is not simply a big person, sharing our imperfections with us or exalting the supposed virtue of dependence, as if God is somehow glorified in His need. Rather, His divine life is marked by a completely different type of being—so much so, that it is more proper to call him the source, ground, or fount of being. Readers of my column may remember that my eyes were first opened to the beauty of divine simplicity through the work of the Reformed Scholastic Francis Turretin.
Divine Simplicity

Apr 9, 2024 | credomag.com | Gavin Ortlund |William Boekestein |Ryan Currie |Timothy Gatewood

As goes divine simplicity, so goes classical theism. For some theologians, the affirmation of divine simplicity proves too much to bear, and the denial of such a doctrine requires them to dismiss classical theism as a whole. For many others, however, it was the discovery of divine simplicity that set them on their way to embracing the classical doctrine of God in all of its beauty. The doctrine of divine simplicity teaches that God is not made up of parts and that all that is in God is God.

Wholesome Protestant Doctrine: Is Actus Purus Necessary for the Health of the Church?

Nov 20, 2023 | credomag.com | Lance English |Timothy Gatewood

I recently had a conversation with my good friend, former pastor, and fellow Credo editor Sam Parkison. As is often the case, our conversation drifted towards theology – specifically classical theism, as we are nothing but consistent (i.e., predictable). We discussed what motivates various people to pursue classical theism, and Sam made a critical point. “For me,” he said, “it’s life or death. This isn’t a game.

Natural Theology

Jul 18, 2023 | credomag.com | Scott Swain |Owen Anderson |Timothy Gatewood |Lance English

God has revealed himself through Scripture, but has God also revealed himself through nature? Some argue that the Fall has erased any form of natural theology, but the Reformed tradition has argued that classical orthodoxy routinely and uniformly taught and practiced natural theology. Theologians in the Great Tradition testified to God’s self-disclosure in creation, but they were not satisfied to merely acknowledge the existence of natural revelation.

Dedicating an entire issue of Credo Magazine to the topic of Reformed scholasticism will, no doubt, illicit a wide spectrum of reactions.[1] Some potential readers will be enthused, ready to further their understanding of what has become familiar to them in recent years. Others will approach this issue with skepticism if not downright dismissal. It is the latter group that I would like to address.
