We are delighted to announce our reschedueled event with Dr. Matthew Bates. Professor Bates will return to Regent (his alma mater!) on Sept. 20th and 21st for three lectures on the themes of the gospel, salvation, and discipleship. The lectures will be held here at Regent in Room 100 and will be followed by a question and answer period. This is a bookstore-sponsored event and will be offered free-of-charge.

Matthew Bates is the Assistant Professor of Theology at Qunicy University in Illinois. He is the author of three (soon to be four!) excellent books, The Hermeneutics of Apostolic Proclamation (Baylor University Press, 2012), The Birth of the Trinity (Oxford University Press, 2015), and mostly recently, Salvation by Allegiance Alone (Baker Academic, 2017). On Bates’ work in “Salvation by Allegiance Alone,” Michael Gorman wrote “his argument for saving faith as embodied, enacted allegiance is rooted in solid scholarship and presented with both zeal for the kingdom and concern for the church. This is a much-need corrective to many misunderstandings.” Scot McKnight also labelled “Allegiance Alone” an “outstanding book.” Matthew is also the co-host of the excellent Biblical Studies podcast, OnScript. He is an accessible author and speaker, who writes and speaks in service of both the church and the academy.
