Creatures of the Word: How God’s Speech Creates, Redeems, and Sustains His People | Michael Horton
"Michael Horton explores the profound reality that creation itself—and the Church—are spoken into being by God’s powerful Word. He interacts with scenes from C.S. Lewis’ The Magician’s Nephew and challenges tendencies to privilege seeing over hearing. Horton highlights the biblical emphasis on hearing and receiving God’s speech, distinguishing between law and gospel, and examining the Church as the creatura verbi: a community formed not by individual initiative but by the Holy Spirit working through the preached Word of Christ. This presentation is from Theo Global in South Asia.
Dr. Michael S. Horton is Founder and Editor-in-Chief of Sola Media (formerly White Horse Inc), home to Core Christianity, White Horse Inn, Modern Reformation, and Theo Global (formerly Global Theological Initiative). He is the J. Gresham Machen Professor of Systematic Theology and Apologetics at Westminster Seminary California." from the video introduction
