“Chicken or Egg? Scripture, Canon, and the Rule of Faith in the Early Church”
This event has now ended. Please view this page to see all our upcoming events.
Old controversies sometimes renew themselves as current ones, and this appears to be true of the sixteenth-century Protestant-Catholic debate about the relationship between Scripture and church. Does Scripture precede the church, and provide the “rule” against which the teaching of the church is to be measured, or does the church precede Scripture, and provide the only context in which Scripture may rightly be understood? This lecture will explore this issue in the context of significant contemporary debate about it within the contemporary Protestant church in the West.
Iain Provan kicks off our Summer Lecture 2016 series.
Iain Provan holds the Marshall Sheppard Chair of Biblical Studies at Regent College, having previously taught at London and Edinburgh universities. He is one of the world’s experts on Israelite history, and his research and teaching now span the entire Old Testament.
Dr. Provan will be teaching the course “Old Testament Foundations” and the course “1 and 2 Kings as Narrative, History and Theology” from May 9-20 as part of our 2016 Summer Programs. Learn more at rgnt.net/summer.
