ABOUT THE PUBLIC LECTURE:

Join the Center for Hebraic Thought and Dr. Peter Leithart for a public talk on questions of God's perfection. Why do we think of God as perfect? Does this matter to the Church? This event is free and open to the public. Light snacks will be served.

Friday night, February 14th, only.

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:

Theopolis teaches, develops tools, and fosters networks to assist church leaders throughout the world to form thoroughly biblical, liturgical, and catholic churches.

Theopolis comes from two Greek words, “God” and “city.” We believe that the Spirit of God works through faithful preaching and teaching of God’s Word, through vibrant, rich, transformative Liturgy, and through courageous and diligent pastoral leadership to form the church into an image of the future city of God.

The Center for Hebraic Thought, an academic center at The King’s College in New York City in partnership with the Philos Project, is a hub and community for research, resources, and conversations about biblical literacy and the intellectual world of the Bible. It provides a dynamic platform where scholars, pastors, and normal folks can interact with one of the oldest, richest, and yet most neglected traditions, discuss how it has shaped our culture, and explore how its concepts can be applied to the big questions of today.
