Nevin Lectures, 2016

This Friday and Saturday, the Theopolis Institute will host the third annual Nevin Lecture series.

The Nevin Lectures are an exercise in what Paul Murray calls “receptive ecumenism.” Each year, Theopolis invites a theologian, pastor, or thinker from outside our Protestant Reformed tradition to lecture about what divides us. We gather to worship together, to listen carefully to one another, and to debate, discuss, disagree in at atmosphere of brotherly charity.

In 2014, we hosted Timothy George, Dean of Beeson Divinity School, who lectured on “Baptist Sacramental Theology.” Last year, Robert Louis Wilken talked about “The Catholic Roots of Religious Freedom.”

This coming weekend, February 12-13, Fr. John Behr, Dean of St. Vladimir’s Orthodox Seminary and author of Becoming Human, Irenaeus of Lyons, and other works, will give three lectures on “What Protestants Should Know About Orthodoxy.”

James Payton, author of Light from the Christian East and Emeritus Professor at Redeemer University College in Ontario, will be the respondent.

Cost is $10 for individuals, $15 for couples, $20 for families. Register online here.
