Trinity Institute: Jamie Smith says…

I regularly buttonhole students and pastors and colleagues, Ancient-Mariner-like, and try to impress upon them the importance of Peter Leithart’s work for our generation and context. He is an exemplary theologian, a consummate renaissance man who hearkens back to an ancient tradition of theology, before our fabricated disciplinary distinctions and academic enclaves. Peter is an interpreter of Scripture who is equally at home reading Jane Austen, a theologian whose orientation is rooted in prayer and worship. He is unapologetically Reformed and Catholic in the best senses of the words. Would that a generation of pastors might emerge trained under his tutelage—which, of course, is just my hope for the Trinity Institute.
