From the conference program description:
As John Henry Newman expressed well in The Idea of a University, theological reflection is not peripheral to the academic enterprise, but constitutes a fundamental feature of education in its fullest sense, whatever one's disciplinary affiliation. We hope to underscore in this conference the enduring place that Christian faith should hold as scholars consider how they are called to intellectual labor and how they regard their disciplines.
