About this Item

Paperback. The 1700th anniversary of the Council of Nicaea is an invitation to both re-encounter the triune God and re-examine the covenantal faithfulness of the Church in a wounded and waiting world. Reformed churches celebrate the Nicene faith - but not uncritically. Receiving is not passive acceptance, but radical engagement. For the Reformed tradition, the anniversary is a call to interrogate, discern, and renew the very grammar of our faith. Reformed hermeneutics receives such anniversaries not as closures of doctrinal certainty, but as openings where theology can be re-tested in the fire of Scripture, re-voiced in the cries of the wounded, and re-shaped in the pulse of mission. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
