Uniting the life of faith and the life of the mind at Baylor and beyond.
The Institute for Faith and Learning was founded in 1997 to assist Baylor in achieving its mission of integrating academic excellence and Christian commitment, and its goal of becoming a university of the first rank committed to its Baptist and Christian heritage. Since its founding, the Institute has developed several major programs in support of this mission, cultivating high-quality research, sponsoring conferences, and encouraging teaching faithful to the Christian intellectual tradition.
Throwback Thursday!
This week, we look back at Candace Vogler's words on formation in her address "Higher Education in a Wider Context".
