Scripture and the Holistic Kuyperian Tradition

ZOOM EVENT: Thursday 12 December, 6:00-7:30 pm (UK Time)

How healthy is biblical studies?
How consciously does it situate itself at the heart of a Christian worldview?
What kind of biblical interpretation do we urgently need today? 

On 6 December 2024 Craig will receive an honorary doctorate from Utrecht Theological University for his contribution to biblical and public theology and, in particular, for his rejuvenation of a neo-Calvinist worldview. Join us as we celebrate this award and hear Craig address the topic of the indispensable role of the Bible at the heart of a Christian worldview today. 
 
Neither Abraham Kuyper nor Herman Bavinck were biblical scholars but they recognized the need for a renewal of healthy biblical interpretation. In his preface to the Dutch version of Matthew Henry’s Commentary on the Bible, Bavinck wrote “It would be too much to expect this commentary of Henry to satisfy the present needs in all respects. But in this area we are still extremely poor…. However much we may lament it, we must still live from what the past offers us.” 
 
Biblical studies has developed in all sorts of ways since then but how healthy is it, how consciously does it situate itself at the heart of a Christian worldview, and what kind of biblical interpretation do we urgently need today? Join us to hear Craig’s reflections on these issues and for discussion of them.
