Theological Education for the Life of the Mind and the Church

Recognizing the need for spiritual formation, mentoring, and community among evangelical scholars, InterVarsity's Religious & Theological Studies Fellowship (RTSF) exists to equip the next generation of church leaders and biblical an theological scholars at graduate programs, divinity schools, and seminaries.

"InterVarsity has provided a spiritual home for me. While encouraging my questions and studies, InterVarsity helped keep me grounded in my relationship with Christ. I had the opportunity to remain connected to the 'true vine' even as I pursued theological training."

— The Reverend Ashley W. Griffith
Duke Divinity School, Class of 2002
Minister, Presbyterian Church (USA)

"It is fair to say that I might not be a Christian, much less a New Testament scholar today, were it not for the impact of InterVarsity on my life. I am thrilled to see how students are being challenged to integrate their faith with their chosen disciplines at the highest level of discourse. The renewal of the mind is going on apace in RTSF, and we should all be thankful."

— Dr. Ben Witherington, III
Professor of New Testament, Asbury Theological Seminary
