What Is the Secular | Interviewing Craig Carter

Lecture Title - Augustine and the Secular in Christendom and Modernity This lecture addressed the growing relevance of Augustine in debates concerning secular space. Particular attention is given to how Augustine's City of God delineates a positive conception of secular space and its role in civil society. A distinction between Augustinianism and Triumphalism is made to differentiate Augustine's conception of the secular from the secularism and statism of many modern statist projects. Craig A. Carter (PhD University of St. Michael’s College) is Research Professor of Theology at Tyndale University. He is author of Rethinking Christ and Culture: A Post-Christendom Perspective (Brazos Press, 2007), Interpreting Scripture with the Great Tradition: Recovering the Genius of Premodern Exegesis (Baker Academic, 2018), and Contemplating God with the Great Tradition: Recovering Trinitarian Classical Theism (Baker Academic, 2021). The Henry Center for Theological Understanding provides theological resources that help bridge the gap between the academy and the church. It houses a cluster of initiatives, each of which is aimed at applying practical Christian wisdom to important kingdom issues—for the good of the church, for the soul of the theological academy, for the sake of the world, and ultimately for the glory of God. The HCTU seeks to ground each of these initiatives in Scripture, and it pursues these goals collaboratively, in order to train a new generation of wise interpreters of the Word—lay persons and scholars alike—for the sake of tomorrow’s church, academy, and world.
