The Bradley Study Center exists, in part, to inspire and support thoughtful reflection on the gospel, the academy, and the life of Christians and the church. We believe the Christian tradition has something to contribute to academic discourse on the nature and purpose of the university and the search for knowledge and truth. We do not necessarily endorse the views presented in these articles and essays, but we think these perspectives can be helpful for discussions and conversation, particularly for faculty, staff, and administrators.
