2nd Annual Conference on Theology and Culture

Co-Sponsored by Liberty University Center for Apologetics and
Cultural Engagement and Student Activities

Why "Every Square Inch"?

Abraham Kuyper, the Dutch politician and theologian famously said, “There is not a square inch in the whole domain of our human existence over which Christ, who is Sovereign over all, does not cry, Mine!” The Every Square Inch Conference occurs annually on the campus of Liberty University in order to provide an opportunity for our community to work out the implication of Christ’s dominion over all aspects of culture.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Liberty University Student Activities and the Center for Apologetics and Cultural Engagement are coming together to bring you the 2nd annual Every Square Inch Conference. This year’s event will highlight the author and public intellectual, Dr. Gregory Alan Thornbury. Dr. Thornbury currently serves as the president of The King’s College in New York, New York. His newest book, a biography of rock and roll legend Larry Norman, releases during the spring of 2018.
