“The Church’s Covenants”

Dr. Bruce Waltke, Regent College and Reformed Theological Seminary

Registration is now open for the next Lamplighters Lecture, to be heldon Saturday, October 11, 2008. Dr. Bruce Waltke, aptly described as “amaster teacher with a pastoral heart,” will speak on the topic of “TheChurch's Covenants.”Saturday, 9:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m.Without a memory a person loses identity, and without a history tosustain it, a society and the world around it become virtually phantomrealities. Moreover, some memories are more salient in determining aperson’s identity and more foundational to sustaining a community. Thisis the case with Israel’s four covenants. They are foundational tounderstanding who we are as Christians and as a Church. And so, in thislecture series, I aim to interpret these foundation stones and to laythem firmly in our memory.
