Welcome to Chalcedon

Chalcedon is a Christian education organization devoted to research, publishing, and promotion of Christian Reconstruction. We believe that the Christian faith is applicable to every area of life and thought and that all things are to be "reconstructed" according to God's revealed will in Scripture.

Reclaiming the Human Realm from Sin

The Christmas season is interesting to me because it is a wholly Christian event that the world finds it must acknowledge. No matter how many superficial traditions we add, the meaning of Christmas is acknowledged to have originated in an historical event two thousand years ago that has relevance today. The fact that this event cannot be ignored is very telling.
