Now comes the fascinating part. Given our starting point, we are actually in the business of transforming lives. Of course, all universities believe in some form of transformation. It means first of all that our community gathers around ideas. Ideas change people.
Ideas change the world.
We believe that thinking well is critical to the health of our society and the church. We enjoy the delight of discovery and the deep satisfaction of understanding. But the deeper question is how ideas are transformed from knowledge to wisdom. In Romans, Paul reflects on this very point. Once we have our starting point, our first principle in Jesus Christ, we then engage very intentionally and intensively in the renewing of our minds.
