The Reformation as Renewal

Two women seated in a conference room, engaged in conversation. One in a yellow cardigan appears attentive and thoughtful. People in the background.

Reform by Return: Fathers, Schools, and the Renewal of the Church.⁠ ⁠

Group of people engaging in discussion during a workshop in a classroom. A woman speaks animatedly to a man. The atmosphere is focused and collaborative.

A seminar in Reformation theology as ressourcement and reform: how Luther, Cranmer, Calvin, and their peers retrieved the church fathers and the best of medieval scholastic insight while pruning late‑medieval innovations. Through close reading of primary texts—with special attention to the English Reformation’s formularies, homilies, and Prayer Book—you will trace how Scripture, creed, and catholic consensus were reclaimed to renew doctrine, worship, and pastoral life. Discussion connects historical arguments to today’s Anglican practice, clarifying what faithful reform looks like in preaching, sacrament, catechesis, and mission.⁠ ⁠

Your Guide to

The Reformation as Renewal

Dr. Matthew Barrett

Research Professor of Theology

When the Lord opened Dr. Matthew Barrett's eyes to the truth and beauty of Anglicanism, he did not know God was preparing a place for him at Trinity. As a systematic theologian, he believes God has called him to share the riches of classical theology with students so they may be God's gifts in the Anglican church. As theologian-in-residence of Anselm House at St. Aidan's Anglican Church, he mentors Anselm Fellows through reading the Great Tradition and Socratic dialogue.

Dr. Barrett teaches theology as preparation for the beatific vision, where students will gaze upon the beauty of the Lord. He teaches God's Word with the wisdom of the Great Tradition so students might feed Christ's church with word and sacrament. He is currently writing a Systematic Theology for seminary students, which will be followed by a Philosophical Theology given his expertise in Thomiastic metaphysics. His scholarship includes Simply Trinity, The Reformation as Renewal, and None Greater. He serves as editor-in-chief of The Journal of Classical Theology and Credo Magazine.

What Dr. Barrett loves most is seeing theology come alive in Trinity's liturgical life through morning and evening prayer and the Eucharist. His goal is to train students to be the best Anglicans they can be. Originally from California, he's a Lakers and Dodgers fan, married to Elizabeth, and father to four Chiefs fans: Cassandra, Georgia, Charlie, and Lorelei.
