Our world desperately needs the Church to be rooted in His Word, trusting God and knowing that our identity rests in Him.
The Bible is the primary way God communicates about who He is. But research has shown that studying the Bible alone does not result in a transformed Christian life. Rather, spiritual transformation comes through interacting with Scripture in a relational way—reflecting, meditating, contemplating. That's what truly enhances our relationship with God and transforms us into His image.
That's what you'll find at Taylor. We have uniquely brought together academic study and the relational reading of Scripture: Scripture Engagement.
Taylor is a pioneer in Scripture Engagement, having founded the Center for Scripture Engagement in 2009. Integrating faith and learning not only complements academic pursuits and spiritual formation, but further aligns with our mission to develop servant-leaders. Starting Fall 2023, all incoming students will learn and practice Scripture Engagement through a dedicated minor (17 credits) as part of Taylor's Foundational Core requirements.
The Center produces in-depth research on Scripture Engagement, diagnostic surveys for ministries and individuals, training on Scripture Engagement practices, and resources.

A Taylor liberal arts education will prepare you to live and work in a fast-changing world. It also goes a step further: laying a strong spiritual foundation that cultivates wisdom. You’ll become a well-versed individual, equipped with critical thinking skills, a lifelong love of learning, and an appreciation for God’s creation.
These classes show how Scripture Engagement brings the academic study of the Bible to life. As you move through the classes, various tools and techniques build, cultivating a deep sense of wisdom and understanding of the Bible.
