Cultivating the Christian Mind
Conference Proceedings 2024 and 2026
FES Singapore (2026)
“… when students are encouraged to see their intellectual vocation as part of
following Jesus, they become more nuanced thinkers and more deeply rooted
disciples, able to develop their intellectual gifts and professional skills
for the service of God and neighbour.”
– Timothée Joset (from the Foreword)
Why are you studying?
How is learning part of your calling as a Christian?
What happens when your beliefs collide with competing systems of knowledge?
What is your idea of the good life?
Cultivating the Christian Mind invites you to reimagine what it means to learn and live faithfully within the modern university. In a context driven by grades, careers, and success, this volume calls students to recover learning as vocation and discipleship – an act of worship, discernment, and participation in God’s mission of shalom.
Drawing together plenary talks, responses, and discipline-specific reflections from our 2024 and 2026 conferences, this book explores how Scripture re-narrates the stories that shape our fields of study and our lives. It beckons us toward intellectual humility and courageous witness, as we seek to embody a faithful learning community on campus.
This book is available at the FES Library at a special price of $5 (usual price $10) only for the months of June and July 2026.
