Why I Teach at AU

“I teach philosophy at AU because here I am able to inspire young Christian men and women to begin reflecting on life’s big questions, and to see the value in pursuing a life of intellectual activity and virtue. In a culture teeming with entertainment and distraction, we have largely abandoned the life of the mind, leaving it vulnerable to all manner of noxious influence from media and other sources. It’s especially important for Christians, I think, to cultivate an intellectual habit and to pursue intellectual integration. I believe that this can only serve to strengthen both our faith and our witness.” ~ Dr. Kegan Shaw
