What is the “catholicity” of the Church confessed in the Apostles’ and Nicene Creeds? Does it only mean “universal,” or is there more to its significance? This class introduces the meaning and the significance of catholicity, exploring its function in confessional Reformational traditions and its ongoing importance for those traditions as a mode of ecclesiastical and theological labor. Figures and topics surveyed in this class include catholicity and the relationship of Scripture, the rule of faith, and tradition; Trinity, Christology, ecclesiology, and catholicity; Ignatius of Antioch; Augustine; the catholicity of the Reformation; the Thirty-Nine Articles, the Westminster Assembly, and other Reformed contexts for catholicity; Herman Bavinck; catholicity, preaching, the sacraments, and liturgy.
