The Faculty of Religion and Theology at Vrije Universiteit cherishes the partnership with IBTS. We share a commitment to academic rigour, motivated by personal existential engagement, and aiming for a contribution to a better world. In that spirit we have welcomed the new chair on social ethics, in the person of Prof. David Gushee, as well as the highly relevant PhD projects that our IBTS students are working on. This, we believe, is theology at its best: driven by visions inspired by the gospel, we devote our studies to making something of the Kingdom visible in this world.
