DIVINE HOLINESS

We live in a time of spiritual and religious tumult—political shifts, intensive pluralism, the rise of AI, transhumanism, plummeting levels of social connection, religious entrepreneurship, and a seeming revival of questions around the vital place of Christianity within Western culture.

Amid the alienation, many are experiencing a deep religious hunger. In the swirling chaos, they seek meaning and rootedness, a connection to the transcendent, the real, and the sacred. These impulses drive people in a variety of spiritual directions, many of which can arguably be understood as varieties of Paganism.

A renewed and revitalized focus on the holiness of God can help the church to be a powerful witness to truth in this cultural setting. It is in God's holiness that we find the deepest source of all spiritual longings and the wellspring of the theological understanding that enables us to pursue our life together as God’s holy people—one of the greatest apologetic needs today.

Join us for the 2025 Francis Schaeffer Institute Conference at Covenant Theological Seminary as we explore this theme and its implications for the current cultural moment.
