The Center for Scripture Engagement
Since our founding over 176 years ago, Taylor has emphasized classes in Scripture knowledge, Christian thought, and spiritual growth for all students.
In 2009, Taylor launched the Center for Scripture Engagement. Co-directed by professors Phil Collins and Steve Bird, the Center produces in-depth research on Scripture Engagement, diagnostic surveys for ministries and individuals, training on how to engage Scripture Engagement practices, and Scripture Engagement resources. The Center has unique partnerships with Taylor University, Bible Societies, Harper Collins, and BibleGateway. Through research and resources, the TUCSE promotes engagement with Scripture to empower the Church to passionately know God, love God, and serve the world.
Inspiring Lifelong Cultivation of Wisdom
Today, students at Taylor take classes that are woven with Scripture Engagement practices. They experience transformative spiritual growth starting freshman year that continues throughout their time on campus. You’ll leave Taylor equipped with tools and techniques for reading the Bible that will inspire you for life.
