at

Presbyterian Theological College

Wednesday  August 5th, 10am – 4.30pm, 7.30pm

PTC Melbourne is hosting a day of  lectures to commemorate the  500th anniversary of the birth of John Calvin.

There will be lectures morning and afternoon, and a public meeting in the evening.  The lectures will be addressed by Dr Carl Trueman. Dr Carl Trueman is Professor of Historical Theology and Church History at Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia, USA and a well known international author and lecturer in his field.

John Calvin was a theologian, pastor, biblical exegete, and tireless apologist for Reformed Christianity, and ranks among the most important thinkers in church history. His theological works, biblical commentaries, tracts, treatises, sermons, and letters helped establish the Reformation as a legitimate and thriving religious movement throughout Europe.  No theologian has been as acclaimed or assailed as much as Calvin.
