Institute for Intellectual Discipleship

Mission Statement

The Institute for Intellectual Discipleship exists to promote the cultivation and responsible use of the life of the mind by supporting curricular and programmatic initiatives designed to advance the Christian intellectual tradition, to highlight the integration of faith and knowledge under the Lordship of Christ, and to equip Christians for lives of cultural engagement through informed, Christian reflection about crucial aspects of contemporary life.

Through a variety of programs and partnerships, both within Union University and in the community at-large, the Institute works to promote increased understanding of a Christian world and life view and its currency in the church, the academy, and society. The Institute provides administrative support for such curricular initiatives as interdisciplinary courses (UNI).
