Before Light, Darkness

Derek Thomas

The Latin phrase post tenebras lux has long stood as a motto of the Reformation. Its stark but hopeful claim shines forth in a culture engulfed by sin. By declaring "after darkness light," the Reformers understood that only the light of the gospel can overcome the darkness of unbelief. In this session, Dr. Thomas explores what the Reformers meant by this phrase and how it can inform our witness today.
