Calvin Seerveld (b. 1930 in New York) received a BA from Calvin College in 1952, an MA in English literature and classics from the University of Michigan in 1953. He then went on to study under D. H. Th. Vollenhoven at the Free University (VU) in Amsterdam, where his doctoral dissertation dealt with Croce’s aesthetics. It was supervised by Vollenhoven and Carlo Antoni. He then taught philosophy and German at Trinity Christian College, and went on to teach philosophical aesthetics at the Institute for Christian Studies in Toronto. He is the author of several influential books, including Rainbows for the Fallen World.

Day rates are now available for the Ontario Chapter of The Gospel Coalition.  The conference is from May 29-31, 2012, at Heritage College and Seminary in Cambridge, Ontario, Canada.  The rate on Tuesday the 29th and Thursday the 31st is $60 and the rate on Wednesday the 30th is $120. Wednesday’s rate includes lunch, all workshops and the special feature with David Short.   Registration is closed as of  May 21st but there are a limited number of spots available at the day rate so register early.

The theme of the conference is “The Priority of the Gospel”. Plenary speakers Don Carson, John Neufeld and Stephen UM will address this topic using Philippians 1-4. As a special feature, David Short will speak on “Striving for the Faith of the Gospel: The St. John’s Vancouver Anglican Church Story”.  We are also thrilled to be able to offer a variety of excellent workshops.   We believe this conference will strengthen, encourage and challenge pastors and Christian leaders in their gospel-centered ministries.

While the conference is aimed at pastors, leaders and students of pastoral ministry, all are welcome to attend.  Check out this link http://thegospelcoalition.org/conferences/regional/2012_ontario to learn more about the conference, plenary sessions and workshops and to register.
