Here\u2019s the blurb for the event: \u201cDr. Philip Ryken has experienced both the cross and the empty tomb in his ministry at Philadelphia\u2019s historic Tenth Presbyterian Church, where he has preached for thirteen years. The author of thirty Bible commentaries and other books on Christianity, culture, and the church, Dr. Ryken has a passion for the local church and for connecting people in ministry to the life-giving work of the crucified and risen Christ.\u201d<\/p>\n

I\u2019m very excited about this lecture and the picture of ministry that it will provide.\u00a0 Andy Naselli<\/a>, a Hansen Fellow with the Center, will be live-blogging the event on our blog<\/a>.\u00a0 Also, in coming days we\u2019ll have a video recording of this lecture as well as a recording of an interview with Ryken done by pastor Steve Farish<\/a> and myself.\u00a0 Be sure the Henry Center website and this blog for more.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
