What is Christian Freedom?

On June 6–7, The Davenant Institute has invited Carl Trueman and Kevin DeYoung to speak on Christian Freedom. Society values expressive individualism, political parties rally behind liberty, and churches points to their freedom in Christ. How can we understand these notions of freedom for the life of the church and for the good of our nation? Join us in June 6–7 as we unpack these questions.

As a community of learners, we also invite you to submit papers for our parallel sessions that will happen during the conference. While we will prefer submissions on Christian Freedom, any submission that advances our mission of retrieving past wisdom for the church today will be considered.
