Word and Deed
Most important to reclaiming the heart of Word and Deed, we see that the spirit among the early church was one of true, abiding love.

Whom Are We Friends with and Why?
As the ancient philosophers recognized the ease with which we can settle for less from our relationships, the current cultural context challenges us, diverts us from what it means to have a true friend and be one.

Harvard’s Editor-in-Chief Reflects on Depression, Despair, and Hope

Is Anything Worth Believing In? A Review of a Conversation with John Lennox
God could have easily made a universe in which bad things didn’t happen. However, Lennox argues that “the one thing you will not get in an automated, robotic, computerized universe is love, relationship, and so on...

Reflections on the Nature of Faith
Faith is unscientific (not anti-scientific) in the sense that much of the knowledge claimed by faith is beyond the scope of scientific inquiry. Christian faith seeks to obtain knowledge in the context of love and trust, not to function as a substitute for reason.

Athens, Amherst and Jerusalem
If it is true that reason and faith are inherently at odds, it seems strange that so much of the story of higher education in the west is essentially the story of Christians creating institutions for the rigorous study of philosophy, theology, and the humanities.
