The sessions will focus on the person and writings of Augustine. My friend Mark Noll, then of Wheaton College in Illinois and now of the University of Notre Dame, wrote almost 20 years ago that “the scandal of the evangelical mind is that there is not much of an evangelical mind.” Bit by bit, members of the Samford faculty seek to reverse the course of Dr. Noll’s argument.     

The world is better because of the scholarly engagement of the Samford faculty.
