From Peter Leithart's presentation: "Hope is one of the major themes of the Bible because we worship a God of hope. That’s what St Paul says in Romans 15:13: “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” Our hope is a gift of God. He fills us with joy and peace. The power of the Spirit is what enables us to abound in hope."
In an isolating secularized culture where the Church's voice is muffled through her many divisions, Christians need all the help they can get to strengthen their faith in God and love toward their neighbor. Eighth Day Institute offers hope to all Christians through our adherence to the Nicene faith, our ecumenical dialogues of love and truth, and our many events and publications to strengthen faith, grow in wisdom, and foster Christian friendships of love.
