Peter Leithart and James Jordan are among America’s most penetrating Christian preachers and teachers, at once rigorously biblical and richly catholic. Their ambitious vision of the Lordship of Christ gives a vital role to the liturgical worship, helping us to see that the church is the New Israel, a nation of disciples that is a light unto the nations, a form of life capable of ordering society as a whole in accord with divine precepts. Today a hostile secular elite is determined to drive the church’s witness out of the public square. Under their leadership the newly founded Trinity Institute for Biblical, Liturgical, and Cultural Studies will deepen and renew pastoral ministry and church mission. They will equip the saints to meet the challenge we face.
