 AUGUSTINE
COLLEGE opened its doors in 1997, realizing the vision of a group
of Christian university professors and laymen who were convinced of
the need for a new kind of institution of Christian higher learning:
an alternative and countercultural college.
What Kind of Alternative?
Today universities and colleges promise to give the student an “informed
acquaintance with the major approaches to knowledge, […] so that students
have an understanding of what kinds of knowledge exist.” They seek
to give students “basic literacy in major forms of intellectual discourse.”
(Harvard 1978) But what are the commitments of that discourse? Do
those teaching such ‘knowledge’ believe that it is true? Isn’t the
‘knowledge’ worth studying the kind that is true? Why become literate
in ‘approaches to knowledge’ based upon the idea, so widely accepted
at universities today, that nothing is really true? We are an alternative
because we believe in knowledge as if there were truth.

Summer Conference | The Roots of Modern Medicine
 In
this conference we will be looking at the rise of applied science
particularly in medicine as part of the overall, stunning growth
of scientific knowledge. "Scientism" also appears and
the word "science" is inappropriately used to describe
Marxism, for example, as scientific socialism. Our ethics, our literature
and our arts show the same consequences of replacing God with rationalism
and individualism. Only in physics is a less mechanistic understanding
beginning to appear.
