Prepare to be challenged!
Criswell College President Barry Creamer offers a perspective that will challenge you to think beyond your own worldview, while at the same time offering biblical responses to the affairs of our day.
Dr. Creamer is a scholar and pastor for our time
I’ve learned more about my life, the Lord, and politics from Dr. Creamer and Criswell College than any other person, scholastic organization, or media outlet. Balanced, biblical, and pastoral, Dr. Creamer is interested in changing our thinking, not merely for the sake of changing, but so that we become fuller, more glorified versions of who we were always supposed to be.
