Episode Details

On this episode of Anchored, Soren is joined by Chuck Fuller, associate professor of Christian Studies and director of the Honors Program at Anderson University. The two discuss the AU Honors Program, modeled after the Ph.D. seminar-style classroom environment and in pursuit of answering Tertullian’s famous question: “what has Athens to do with Jerusalem?” They also theorize the possible reasons for why Christian universities are thriving amid population and COVID-related problems – particularly the increasing difficulty of navigating secularism. In addition to enrollment benefits, the two expand on the merits of a curriculum that acknowledges hard questions about faith, death, and transcendence at the heart of learning rather than pushing those central human questions to the periphery.
