Annual Conference

2:45 PM  Dismissal

Friday, January 24th: 

Dr. W. Robert Godfrey
The sufficiency of Scripture was hugely important in the Reformation context and remains so today. This session will explore the doctrine of Sufficiency at the Synod of Dort. Further examples from Calvin and the Three Forms of Unity will be used to show how sufficiency is understood in the Dutch Reformed tradition.

Saturday: January 25th: 

Dr. R. Jason Pickard, Sufficiency and Old Princeton 
This Session will explain how the doctrine of Sufficiency was taught at Old Princeton with illustrations/examples from Old Princetonians Hodge and Warfield. A strong thread of continuity should be drawn between what they were doing in their day and what we are striving to do in our own day.

Dr. David VanDrunen, The Sufficiency of Scripture & the Christian engaged in Culture
This Session will tackle the bristly topic of the Christian’s engagement with culture (e.g., politics, etc..) demonstrating how the sufficiency of Scripture (i.e., special revelation) is adequate to the task but with an eye to the important role of wisdom and natural law play in the Christian’s engagement with culture. 

Dr. Bradley J. Bitner, The Sufficiency of Scripture for building God’s Kingdom
This final Session will bring us “back to center,” by reminding us that Scripture is given primarily to build Christ’s church, prepare God’s people for the World to Come, and to expand His Kingdom in our World. Dr. Bitner should bring his wonderful work on metaphor to engage the attendees’ imaginations and hearts in this final session by tying together the messages discussed to demonstrate God’s wonderful design for Scripture’s function in our present lives as a pilgrim people.  

President Joel E. Kim, Psalm 19: The Revelation of God displayed in Creation and Torah
This Session should take on a “devotional” tone to frame up the rest of the day. The goal should be to inspire confidence in the creator God’s goodness since he has given us a revelation of himself in the Cosmos and Creation, and how much more so He has made Himself known to us in His Torah (Special Revelation).
