NEW WEBSITE LIVE! The Davenant Institute website relaunches today. A new design, clearer navigation, and better access to our courses, essays, books, and resources. This update marks a renewed commitment to Davenant's work of retrieving the Protestant tradition and applying its wisdom to the challenges of the present age. We hope pastors, scholars, students, and laymen alike will find in these resources a deeper appreciation for the Protestant tradition and practical wisdom for faithful service in church, home, and society. Visit davenantinstitute.org and explore what's new.

“Yet we should not infer from this that foreseen sins are the cause of a man's reprobation. Sins do not cause God to intend not to have mercy; however, they are the cause of damnation, which follows in the last judgment, that was prepared from the beginning.”

Richard Baxter lists three men as exemplars of qualification for sacred office (holy, blameless, humble, diligent, patient): John Dury (1596-1680) Thomas Gouge (1605-1681) John Eliot (1604-1690)

There are so many layers to the story of how the United States routinely urged soldiers… by law in many cases… to understand why certain religion expressions were important for them to have. My forthcoming book with @DavenantInst is all about this.
during the Civil War, the Union prescribed a court-martial for commissioned officers who “behaved indecently or irreverently at any place of divine worship”

"My wife and I have begun reading your book; of course you point to Perelandra as an important reference in the current gender controversy. I find your writing style clear and engaging---not many intellectual authors have that." - A new reader of my book davenantinstitute.org/davena…

Why did C.S. Lewis believe gender is more real than sex? I had @TheOptimisticC3 of @LogresInstitute on the podcast to talk about his book "Sons of Adam, Daughters of Eve" (@DavenantInst). We found some surprising areas of disagreement.
