From the conference website:
The Engaging Our World: From the Ivory Tower to Global Impact Conference will be a conversation about a Christian worldview and how it applies to the real world. What difference does your Christian worldview make? Do you truly have a Christ-centered, Christ-honoring worldview that is global in focus, passionate about applying Christ's Lordship in all realms of thought and life among all people in every language and nation?
The conference will:
- Deepen your commitment to understanding and living a Christian worldview.
- Force you to reexamine your stereotypes of conversion, evangelism, and apologetics.
- Encourage you to think Christianly about your discipline and life.
- Give you new insights on how to apply a Christian worldview in your field.
- Inspire you to impact your world for Christ and his Kingdom.
- Expand your vision for the vast opportunities to communicate a Christian worldview in secular universities around the world.
Call For Papers
More than sixty papers and workshops on the theme of a Christian worldview will be presented. Various papers will examine the components of a full-orbed Christian worldview, how a Christian worldview can be applied, the role and impact of a Christian worldview in specific disciplines, specific Christian worldview thinkers, the relationship of theology and worldview, and how a Christian worldview should respond to major social and cultural problems facing the world today. Some papers will feature the conversion narrative of scholars who came to believe in Christ as adults.
