Southern Seminary Theology Conference: The Five Solas
On September 24 and 25, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary will be hosting its annual Theology Conference (you can view last year’s conference on the Trinity here). This year the theme will be The Five Solas and the speakers will include Credo Magazine contributors Matthew Barrett and Thomas Schreiner, as well as Carl Trueman, David VanDrunen, and Stephen Wellum. Each of these speakers is contributing a book to The Five Solas Series, edited by Matthew Barrett, and to be published by Zondervan starting this Fall through 2017. Here is more information about this exciting conference as well as the books in the series.
As we approach the 500th anniversary of Martin Luther’s posting of his 95 Theses on the church door in Wittenberg, it seems altogether appropriate to give sustained and focused attention to the great themes of the Reformation that have impacted the Church of Jesus Christ from that day forward. Those themes are summarized in no better nor more important fashion than in the so-called “Five Solas” of the Reformation.
In our Fall 2015 Theology Conference at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, we will offer those attending the opportunity to hear from some of evangelicalism’s finest scholars as they unpack for us the meaning and significance of each of these themes. For greater understanding, and deepened convictions, we pray God will be pleased to help each of us embrace these glorious truths that ground a biblical understanding of the nature of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
