Ancient Evangelical Future Conference 2013
The Word and the Creeds:
Reading Scripture in the Light of the Church’s Ancient Faith
Date: June 5-7, 2013
Location: Trinity School for Ministry, Ambridge PA
Cost: $150 -- includes meals (for student rates see registration form)
How do we read the Bible? How does the way we read the Bible inform our theology and ministry? Modern and postmodern methods of Biblical interpretation (hermeneutics) have tended to read the Bible as an isolated text with little unified meaning or coherence—but this has not always been the case. Throughout most of church history, Christians have read the Bible under the guidance of the Rule of Faith and the great Creeds of the Church. How does such a creedal hermeneutic square with contemporary Christian and secular approaches to the Bible, and what are the implications of this approach for Christian theology, spirituality, and mission?
These questions will be addressed in Trinity’s first Ancient Evangelical Future Conference, June 5-7, 2013, at Trinity School for Ministry in Ambridge, PA. Hosted by the newly established Robert E. Webber Center, this Conference will draw deeply from the well of the Great Tradition. Conference speakers from across a spectrum of theological traditions will join us to lead this important and timely conversation.
Keynote Speakers:
- Richard Hays
- Christopher Hall
- Peter Leithart
- Marion Taylor
- David Yeago
- with special guest David Neff- Editorial Vice President of Christianity Today

Gathering of the Ancient-Future Faith Network
Joel and friends at Trinity, we are so much looking forward to our time with you at the Webber Center. As we plan the second annual gathering of the Ancient-Future Faith Network, which will convene on Trinity's campus the day and a half before the Webber Center events begin, we're excited to see what kind of wonderful things happen as we bring these two organizations together.
We're making sure to point Network members to your details here, and we're hopeful that those coming to the Webber Center events might come an extra day early to participate with us. Details for the Ancient-Future Faith Network gathering are available here: www.AncientFutureFaithNetwork.org. Blessings, and looking forward to seeing you in June.
Dr. Chris Alford, Chair, Ancient-Future Faith Network
