Why These Books and No Others?

Every year around this time you can no doubt find numerous documentaries on television or articles written about the “Real Jesus” or the “Lost Books of the Bible.”  These are often little more than thinly veiled – or not so thinly veiled – arguments against Jesus as Lord and Savior and the New Testament canon.

What was once accepted in academia – Who wrote the New Testament? Who is Jesus? Why these books and no other? – is no more. And as the framework of scholarship has shifted, doubt about the authority and clarity of Scripture has led many in the Church to question. 

The 2016 Philadelphia Conference on Reformed Theology addresses the topic of canon head on. We are greatly blessed to have our pre-conference seminar on the topic of the canon of Scripture, presented by two preeminent New Testament scholars today, Michael Kruger, President of Reformed Theological Seminary (Charlotte) and a leading authority in this field, and by Charles Hill, the John R. Richardson Professor of New Testament and Early Christianity. Attending these sessions is sure to bolster not only your faith that the Bible is God’s Word but also how it is God’s Word.

We are excited to have PCRT return to Grand Rapids and Bryn Mawr. Our plenary sessions will feature the contributions of some of the most able preachers and scholars of our time, including Derek Thomas, Philip Ryken, and Drs. Kruger and Hill. We hope you will join us. Visit the PCRT web page for more information and to register.
