  • The Power of Biography

    Why do biographies have such power for us? Our 2021 Carolinas Regional Convivium will explore this question.

  • The Christian Right (and Wrong)

    Harp’s narrative provides useful history, but a more charitable and accurate assessment is needed to develop a contemporary Protestant political theology

  • The Classical (Thomistic) Doctrine of God

    Dodds’ work is excellent exposition of the classical doctrine of God, answering the everyday questions of believers. It is unfortunately let down by beginning the development of monotheism with Abraham rather than Adam.

  • Martin Luther and Tax: A Protestant Perspective on Redistributive Taxation

    The redistributive grammar of Luther’s theology of the Lord’s Supper underlies his vision for poor relief and, thus, implicates redistributive taxation.

  • Hemmingsen on Mark 7

    It is significant that Christ not only healed a man, but that, in order for the man to be healed, others had to bring him to Christ.

  • Revisiting Martin Luther’s Philosophy

    Cooper’s defense of the scholastic method argues for seeing continuity, rather than disjuncture, between Luther and his successors.

  • Inhabiting the Places of Promise: Martin Luther’s Teaching on the Three Institutions

    Reflection on the institutions, on the shape of the divine promises to care for human life as revealed in Scripture, brings to light that to which our hearts cling in social and political life.

  • Our Daily Bread: Hemmingsen on Grateful Faith

    Hemmingsen’s discussion contains a salutary reminder that we are to receive God’s good created gifts with gratitude and acknowledgment. If we do not, we are robbing God.

  • Calling upon the Lord: Herman Bavinck on the Creatureliness of Prayer

    Bavinck nudges the novice towards seeing prayer as built upon and expressing the order of being. When Christians pray, they do so by the Spirit; the very act that manifests our creatureliness is achieved only in relation to the Spirit’s enabling presence.

  • Without Excuse: Presuppositionalism and the Historic Christian Faith

    Incorporating philosophy, historical theology, and Scripture, our latest collection features essays on the doctrine of natural revelation.

Mission

The Davenant Institute brings the wisdom of classical Protestant Christianity to the Church today through books, journals, public conversation, and online learning, re-integrating Word and world for the renewal of the contemporary Church.
