The Rediscovery of the City of God: A Symposium in Honor of Thomas C. Oden. In this two-day symposium scholars, pastors, international church leaders will explore the following themes in relation to Thomas Oden’s legacy: Classical Christianity, Ancient Christianity, spiritual renewal, and building bridges within the historic communities of faith.
