Like the apostle Paul in pre-Christian Athens, we in post-Christian America face a culture that is increasingly skeptical — if not blatantly hostile — toward traditional Christian faith and values. The erosion of Christian influence in our society is apparent in virtually every area of modern life from law and politics to business, education, lifestyles, the media, and the arts and entertainment. Many Christians, however, fail to see that we are losing the culture war because we have essentially forfeited the intellectual war. Ideas and beliefs have consequences, and responsible Christians can ill afford to drift along with the cultural currents of our day.
The Areopagus is an interdenominational Christian study center that offers seminars, workshops, and forums on a variety of topics relevant to contemporary Christian education. The mission of The Areopagus is to help equip Christians for ministry in the church and to effectively engage our society and culture with the transforming truth and love of Jesus Christ. To this end, we offer a substantive curriculum that expands their knowledge base, stimulates critical thinking, and challenges them to live faithfully and consistently in accordance with the principles and practices of a Biblical Christian worldview.
