Peter Leithart and James B. Jordan have been highly influential in my life and ministry. Leithart’s book The Kingdom and the Power was an important book in my journey, giving me a solid foundation to see a biblical churchly vision, at a time when I was majoring on minors. Couple that understanding of the centrality of the Church with the breadth of biblical vision expounded in books such as Through New Eyes (Jordan) and Deep Exegesis (Leithart), and it is clear why the Trinity Institute can be such a blessing to the Church of Jesus Christ. These men have a solid track record in encouraging and instructing others in matters of biblical interpretation and the service of worship. I am excited to see what the Lord is about to do through this new avenue of ministry.
