The Department of Philosophy is a community of Christian teachers and scholars who employ the resources of philosophy and the Christian faith to explore basic issues of enduring human concern.

Our mission is to educate students toward maturity of intellect and Christian faith by teaching them to use careful analysis and logical reasoning to think responsibly and creatively about their world view in light of the Christian faith, the history of philosophy, and the best of contemporary philosophy. We aim to serve the campus community beyond the department by providing access to the resources of contemporary Christian philosophy, especially those that illuminate philosophic issues that arise in other disciplines.
