DEAR FRIEND,

IN A DAY WHEN EVEN PEOPLE WITHIN THE CHURCH

try to redefi ne what it means to be a Christian, it is important for

us all to understand the importance of Christian orthodoxy —

that body of content that is the authentic Christian religion.

Orthodoxy rests on three pillars: history — the conviction that

God is working out His purposes through His people; truth — the gospel

of Jesus Christ delivered once and for all to the saints; and faith — the

conviction that salvation is found only through trusting in Christ alone.

This winter we will be gathering again in central Florida for our annual

Ligonier Academy conference. Drs. Stephen Nichols and Carl Trueman

will be joining me for lectures on the theme History, Truth, Faith —

Pillars of Christian Orthodoxy on January 21–22, 2011, on the campus

of Ligonier Academy. This promises to be an exciting time of teaching

and fellowship as we explore these elements that are essential to the

health of the church.

I hope that you will be able to join us this winter for this important

and timely conference. As we understand more deeply the pillars of

orthodoxy, we will be able to stand for Jesus, fi rm in our faith.

In Christ,

R.C. Sproul

9:00 – 10:10 A.M. Session 2: HistoryOur God upholds, directs, disposes, and governs all creatures, actions, and things, from the

greatest to the least, by His most wise and holy providence. In short, what God creates, He

sustains. In this lecture, Stephen Nichols examines the biblical doctrine of providence, showing

that God upholds all things by His power and that in Him we live, move, and have our being.

11:00 – 11:50 A.M. Session 3: TruthDuring the sixteenth century, the Protestant Reformers appealed to Scripture alone (sola Scriptura). They recognized that all Scripture is God-breathed. It is the Word of the living

God. Scripture is therefore infallible and inerrant and our only rule of faith and practice. In

this lecture, Carl Trueman explains how the Word of God is truth and as such, our standard.

2:50 – 3:40 P.M. Session 5: FaithThroughout her history, the church has been forced to fight those who have attempted to

ground justification on human merit and works or some combination of faith and merit. This

conflict came to a head in the Western church during the sixteenth-century Reformation. In

this lecture, Carl Trueman explains the importance of maintaining the doctrine of

justification by faith alone.

4:30 – 5:20 P.M. Session 6: Post Tenebras LuxThe phrase “post tenebras lux” (after darkness, light), a rallying cry of Protestant Reformers,

refers to the rediscovery of biblical truth in a time of spiritual darkness. Because the

darkness of heresy and immorality constantly creeps in, the church must always be seeking

to rediscover the light. In this lecture, R.C. Sproul examines the obligation and role of the

Christian academy in recovering and proclaiming the light of truth.
