Adonis Vidu to Deliver the 2025 Lecture for the Center for Classical Theology

We are pleased to announce that Dr. Adonis Vidu will deliver the Annual Lecture for The Center for Classical Theology in Boston, MA on November 17, 2025 (the evening before ETS). Dr. Vidu is titling his lecture, “The Christian Experience of the Trinity,” and this lecture will explore a lacuna in current trinitarian scholarship.

The lecture will be given in the historic Tremont Temple Baptist Church in Boston. Registration is now open here. Last year’s lecture “sold out” so do not wait to get your seat.

Dr. Adonis Vidu is Andrew Mutch Distinguished Professor of Theology at Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary. He is a constructive theologian who is involved in a recovery of the patristic and medieval Trinitarian theology for the contemporary church. Having done previous work in theological epistemology (Theology After Neo-Pragmatism, 2009), hermeneutics (Postliberal Theological Method, 2005), doctrine of the atonement (Atonement, Law, and Justice, 2014), trinitarian theology (The Same God Who Works All Things, 2021; The Divine Missions, 2021), his latest research focuses on a trinitarian theology of the Christian life.

Following Dr. Vidu’s lecture, Dr. Lewis Ayers will provide a response. Lewis Ayers is Professor of Catholic and Historical Theology at Durham University. The core of his research has been Trinitarian theology in Augustine and in the Greek writers of the fourth century, leading him to author Nicaea and Its Legacy: An Approach to Fourth Century Trinitarian Theology (Oxford University Press, 2004/6) and Augustine and the Trinity (Cambridge University Press, 2010).

Since the lecture and Q&A will take place in the historic sanctuary of Tremont Temple, this lecture will also be a unique opportunity to visit one of the monumental churches in downtown Boston.

Visit the Center for Classical Theology where you can watch the inaugural lecture by Carl Trueman and last year’s lecture by Michael Horton. Also, submit a paper in the Scholastic Award contest for the chance to win the works of John Owen and Stephen Charnock with Crossway, as well as publication in the Journal for Classical Theology.

The annual lecture for CCT is sponsored by Crossway publishing. Registration is now open here.
