Note from the Chair

The Department of Philosophy offers many vital courses that will allow you to profitably navigate the times we live in, correctly interpret and resiliently apply biblical truth for living a good and beautiful life based on the absolute authority of God's Word over us, and expressly act as an intellectual agent of transformation and good thinking in our culture, all to the Glory of God!
