Faith in the Academy
September 30-October 2, 2004
Messiah College

The Faith in the Academy conference will explore the different ways religious faith is present on American college and university campuses. It will also address the many ways in which scholarship and faith can aid each other. Church-related higher education will receive special attention, but all institutions of higher learning are included.

An important point of reference for the conference as a whole is Scholarship and Christian Faith: Enlarging the Conversation (Oxford, 2004). Registrants for the meeting will receive a free copy of this book which develops a fresh, new vision of how scholarship and Christian faith can be combined in positive and hopeful ways.
