‘Trust in Academia?: Christianity and trust in a sceptical world’

Around 100 academics have gathered to discuss the issue of ‘trust’ in a sceptical world for the most recent ‘Forming a Christian Mind’ conference.

Forming a Christian Mind exists to help Christian postgraduates and postdoctoral researchers think Biblically about their double calling: to contribute to their academic field in the light of Scripture, thereby contributing to the common good, and, conversely, to turn what they study to cultural apologetics and outreach – showing how the nature of reality points to the relevance and plausibility of the gospel of Christ. 

Their most recent conference was titled ‘Trust in Academia?: Christianity and trust in a sceptical world’. The conference launched the book Trust: A Philosophical Study (OUP 2023), written by Dr Tom Simpson (Associate Professor of Philosophy and Public Policy at the Blavatnik School of Government, University of Oxford), and explored how a Biblical understanding of trust can enrich the work and witness of Christian academics.
