Urbana Onward
by Greg Jao

But that's not all. God invites us to love him with our minds as well. Being holistic, global Christians means that we need to think well about the world around us.

Little Books
by Paul Copan
What's the point of studying philosophy when we have theology? Is philosophy anything more than a preparation for apologetics?

We know rest and reflection are necessary for a healthy life—even Jesus took time to get away from the crowds, away from the demands of everyday life, to pray, to spend time with close friends, to sleep. But when Carolyn Weber—emotionally and physically exhausted from managing her career as a college professor, ...
