Conclusion

“The Western university is the most influential institution in the world,” said Dr. Charles Habib Malik, author of A Christian Critique of the University. Malik argued that the university is more influential than the state, the church, or even the family. Whether you completely agree with Malik or not, it is impossible, and even dangerous, to ignore the influence of the Western university system.

InterVarsity is a ministry called by God to bring His light into a powerful, dark realm. We stand as a movement with a 50-year history of reaching the university world with the Gospel. As we enter the final years of this century, our commitment to this ministry remains firm. InterVarsity is about students, staff, and faculty engaging the university in all its diversity with the saving message of Jesus Christ.
