What is distinctly evangelical about the Division of Religion and Philosophy?
Every year, we sign our university’s statement of faith, which is a solidly evangelical affirmation that directly reflects the language of the National Association of Evangelicals’ statement of faith. While this is true, the better answer to what makes us distinctly evangelical is that each faculty member approaches his or her discipline with the three concerns that have characterized evangelicalism since its beginning: the desire to discern the truths of Christianity (orthodoxy), a search for how we might best apply those truths in our callings (orthopraxy), and the aspiration to experience transformation and encourage Christ-likeness in others (orthopathy).
