Details

This day-long seminar looked at the sacraments of the church—the Lord's Supper and Baptism—discussing the larger questions of space, time and matter within which our understanding of sacraments must be located. Christians assume some view of these things which then "invisibly" colors their approach to the sacraments; we must get a biblical handle on the larger questions to appreciate the sacraments for what they are. This seminar was held at Calvin College on January 6, 2007.
