Scholarship
Publications
Over the years the support of the Calvin Center for Christian Scholarship has enabled scholars to produce some sixty-seven books, several of which have gone into second editions. View the CCCS bibliography »
Major Grants
The Calvin Center is now seeking partners in funding and research expertise to help harvest the great potential that Calvin scholars offer via their networks around the country and around the world, as well as in their own right. While CCCS projects must have a Calvin faculty member as principal investigator, the Center has the liberty, the experience, and the commitment to bring together believers from many institutions to work on issues of common concern from a shared body of Christian insight.

Working Groups
The Calvin Center for Christian Scholarship funds several Working Groups each academic year. Each Calvin Center Working Group is composed of 8-15 participants, from a variety of academic disciplines or professional fields, who meet monthly to discuss common reading and to explore from interdisciplinary perspectives a particular issue, problem, or topic.

"Intentionally" Christian
- "Intentionally Christian" means research and reflection that deliberately bring the resources of the Christian faith to bear upon a subject, whether by scrutinizing the fundamental premises of a theory or a field; by elaborating the ethical consequences of social structures, research methods, or ways of thought; or by helping believers understand their world better through the critical appropriation of new work being done in the academy. The CCCS believes that church and society can, and ought to, learn from each other; so also faith and reason, theology and science.
