“Over two days, on 16–17 September, guests from around the world and all over Australia will come together at Moore College to engage afresh with the great Genevan Reformer and his theological legacy. Paul Helm of Regent College, Vancouver will speak about Calvin and philosophy. Oliver Crisp of the University of Bristol will explore Calvin’s understanding of Prayer. Ashley Null, world expert in the the theology of the English Reformation, will uncover Calvin’s impact on Tudor Anglicanism. Peter Adam, Principal of Ridley College, Melbourne will address the subject of Calvin and preaching. And Peter Jensen, Archbishop of Sydney, will speak about the role of Calvin’s theology in theological education today.

Martin Foord from Trinity College in Perth will locate Calvin’s treatment of 1 Timothy 2:4 against the exegetical tradition he inherited. John Maclean from the Presbyterian Theological Centre in Sydney will engage with Calvin’s treatment of the sacraments.”

Looks awesome – be there! I hear there’s 2 streams: 1) aimed more at the upper theological level, and 2) one aimed more at the layperson’s level.  Both streams look fantastic, and I hope it’ll be a privilege to hear from these great Calvin scholars.  Having recently read Paul Helm‘s Calvin and the Calvinists, I’m looking forward to hearing him on Calvin!
