Ad fontes, “to the sources,” was a rallying cry of the Reformation. The Reformers bequeathed to us a heritage, rooted in the Scriptures and their wide-ranging humanistic studies, which sought to address the hard questions of theology, philosophy, and culture in a way that was true to the revelation of God’s word and God’s world. Ad Fontes channels this ethos into a modern context, seeking to explore our questions alongside the great cloud of witnesses and the many exemplars who have gone before us.

Ad Fontes is a quarterly journal. Each issue features a combination of longform essays, shorter articles, historical sketches, and book reviews. This website hosts the digital versions of current issues, as well as an extensive archive of past pieces, and a wide array of non-print web exclusive blogs and articles.
