Tickets are now on sale for the 2nd Annual Restoring Our Faith Summit on Tuesday, October 10 in South Burlington.

The event will feature an esteemed list of speakers that includes renowned scholars, religious leaders, authors, and social scientists who will discuss the importance of faith, family, and a return to the covenantal principles at America’s founding. 

Gerald McDermott was added this week to the list featured speakers for the 2023 Summit. McDermott is the author, co-author, or editor of two dozen books and hundreds of articles and book chapters on Jonathan Edwards, Christian theology of world religions, and the meaning of Israel. His co-authored Theology of Jonathan Edwards (Oxford University Press) was named by Christianity Today the top book for 2013 in theology and ethics. McDermott held endowed chairs at Roanoke College and Beeson Divinity School, and now teaches at Reformed Episcopal Seminary and Jerusalem Seminary.  He and his wife Jean live in Charlottesville, VA, with their three sons and daughters-in-law, and twelve grandchildren.

Another speaker, Mary Eberstadt, holds the Panula Chair in Christian Culture at the Catholic Information Center in Washington DC and is Senior Research Fellow at the Faith & Reason Institute. She is an American writer whose contributions to the intellectual landscape traverse genres. An essayist, novelist, and frequent public speaker, she is author of several books of non-fiction, including How the West Really Lost God: A New Theory of Secularization; Adam and Eve after the Pill: Paradoxes of the Sexual Revolution; and Primal Screams: How the Sexual Revolution Created Identity Politics. Her social commentary draws from fields including anthropology, intellectual history, philosophy, popular culture, sociology, and theology. Central to her diverse interests are questions concerning the philosophy and culture of Western civilization and the fate and aspirations of post-modern man.
