Ad Fontes

"To the sources!"

A journal of Protestant letters from @DavenantInst

[Ad Fontes @AdFontesJournal]

Today we are pleased to announce the relaunch of Ad Fontes: A Journal of Protestant Letters and the beginning of a new chapter under the leadership of Patrick Timmis as Editor-in-Chief.

“This relaunch of the publication reaches ‘back to the sources’ of the Davenant Institute and the energies that first launched 'A Journal of Protestant Letters.' Ad Fontes set out to mine the riches of the classical and Christian traditions for wisdom to face the questions we encounter today, both within the walls of our various magisterial Protestant communions and in our shared commonwealth. The aim was not antiquarian nostalgia, but the patient retrieval of truths still capable of forming free peoples and faithful churches in the service of Christ.” - Patrick Timmis.

That mission continues, with a renewed commitment to platforming a range of voices, some familiar to longtime friends of Davenant and some new, who, in their public scholarship and debate, can help advance our pursuit of wisdom as iron sharpens iron.

Here’s what you can expect:
- A quarterly journal published online and freely accessible to all
- Individual articles that are easier to read, share, and engage with
- Timely commentary and responses between issues
- Continued publication of our long-running blogs and essays
- Serious Protestant scholarship written for pastors, scholars, students, and thoughtful laymen

Happy one year publication anniversary to my book *Religion and Republic* with @DavenantInst on Christian America in the first half of the 19th century. It has a pretty cover. You should buy it. https://t.co/uDzm2bX6tq

📚 This volume seeks to bring these insights, woven into the rich imaginative world of the Ransom Trilogy, to bear upon the realities of the Christian life, enabling Christians to think deeply, live faithfully, and tune themselves again to the music of what Lewis called “the Great Dance” of creation.

"Away with Hobbes and Schmitt. Politics is about friendship in an order of harmonious hierarchy. Authorities stand not alone as sovereigns. As subjects to the Truth and protectors of the peace, they serve all in the pursuit of the common good."

[James R. Wood @jamesrwoodtheo]

"As someone who has been conversant with the 'postliberal' literature for about fifteen years, two things have increasingly bothered me about the current era of the discourse: the obsession with the state and erasure of the concept of the common good." On AWJ's latest:
