The Juan Calvino Lectures

This page is a work-in-progress, and will contain the lecture series given by me at the Juan Calvino Theological Seminary in Mexico City. I have been doing these weekend conferences as part of their Reformation Day celebration each year since 1997 (?) (ah, my faulty memory!). Each year the lectures would cover some aspect of church reformation, ranging from St. Augustine, through Calvin, Zwingli, Knox, Puritans, and others up through Whitefield & Edwards in the Great Awakening. I am currently re-visiting these lectures, one per week, on Wednesday nights at Covenant Presbyterian Church, Chattanooga, TN. I am trying to add one lecture per week to this page for listening or download.
