In the Beginning: God, Adam, and You - Grand Rapids

 Registration is closed for this event
The theme of this year's Philadelphia Conference on Reformed Theology is In the Beginning: God, Adam, and You. We will address the challenges posed to the traditional Christian doctrines of creation and, more specifically, the historicity of Adam.

Over the past few years, numerous denominations have seen the doctrine of the historicity of Adam challenged. While such challenges are not new, what is disturbingly new is that these challenges are coming from fellow evangelicals, from those who are supposed to uphold the inerrancy of Scripture.
 
The theme of this year’s Philadelphia Conference on Reformed Theology is In the Beginning: God, Adam, and You. We will address the challenges posed to the traditional Christian doctrines of creation and, more specifically, the historicity of Adam.
 
Due to the supposed irrefutable scientific evidence that man has evolved from lower life forms and was not the product of God’s special creation, even those within the Reformed church are calling for a reshaping of how people think about the historicity of
Adam. Some have gone so far as to say that Christians should abandon our conviction that Adam was a real individual. Others have tried to be subtler, seeking a mediating position. One thing on which all of the opponents of the traditional teaching are agreed is that it is simply wrong to believe what the Bible says concerning the real, historical existence of Adam.
 
The questions being raised are neither light nor harmless. Moreover, they are not new questions. But each generation is called upon to defend the great truths of the Bible. The PCRT was founded to respond to such compromised teaching. In the same spirit, PCRT 2013 will respond to these harmful and serious questions, which constitute an assault on the very foundations of our faith.
 
The conference will also focus on how the historical existence of Adam fits into the overall biblical worldview. Our pre-conference seminar will highlight the relationship between creation and gender roles. This is another timely issue that is directly affected by how one views the historicity (or lack thereof) of Adam.
 
This is an important conference. The issues addressed will continue to affect the Church for decades to come. We have the opportunity in 2013 to issue a clarion call to the Church, to raise high the banner of faithfulness to God’s Word, as we have done since 1974.
 
We are proud to have you stand with us as we seek not the world’s approval but what is all important and what has driven the ministry of the PCRT and its founder: faithfulness to God’s inerrant Word, “in season and out of season” (2 Tim 4:2).
