Don Carson’s Continued Legacy
He could’ve spent his years cloistered in his office, writing book after book in pursuit of personal gain and academic acclaim.


The Carson Center exists to foster spiritual renewal around the world by providing excellent theological resources for the whole church—for anyone called to teach, and anyone who wants to study the Bible.

“We should show due deference to the Christian tradition, but Scripture still has pride of place as the sole, inspired and inerrant Word of God.”
“By God’s design, the path between the old and new covenants is ‘one way only.’”
“The best iterations of the four senses in no way rejects the grammatical-historical sense; it affirms it.”
“When we labor over the things we read, we end up sharpening our spiritual intellects more than if we were told the truth directly.”
“Jacob’s prophecy, then, anticipates a king in Judah’s line whose rule will be extraordinarily powerful and prosperous.”
God’s redemptive purposes are not merely to forgive but also to make us new, holy, and righteous.
For over 50 years, Don Carson has faithfully served the church as one of the most prolific theologians of our day. His writings cover a wide range of biblical and theological matters. And his influence has shaped generations of pastors and teachers.

Around the world today, biblical illiteracy inhibits spiritual depth—not just in the shrinking church of the West, but even the growing churches of the South and East. But there is no spiritual renewal without returning to Scripture. And while the internet offers unprecedented access to the Bible, many of the most widely used resources for studying God’s Word are unhelpful at best or heretical at worst.
That’s why The Gospel Coalition has started The Carson Center for Theological Renewal, named in honor of TGC co-founder Don Carson. As we see in Scripture and church history, spiritual renewal follows theological renewal, when the ancient gospel of Jesus Christ recaptures our hearts and minds.
