Annie Kinkead Warfield Lectures

The theme for the 2018 Annie Kinkead Warfield Lectures is “Hope for Even the Most Wretched? Speaking of Election.” These lectures will reflect on election language in Scripture and prayer, and consider some implications for faith, the church, and public life. A reception will follow the final lecture, which also serves as Dr. Dirk J. Smit’s inaugural lecture as The Rimmer and Ruth DeVries Professor of Reformed Theology and Public Life.
