The Center for Christianity and Scholarship equips students and faculty to engage the university and the world with Christian understanding. Drawing upon multiple Christian traditions, it seeks to create and sustain a community engaged in discovering what it means to think as Christians about the workings of the physical world, social structures, history, art, philosophy, and other fields of study. The Center intends thereby to encourage the intellectual discipleship of Christians, both in the university and in the broader community; to engage in respectful dialogue with those who hold other worldviews and belief systems; to participate in the university’s search for knowledge and understanding; and to contribute to the general welfare of society.
