Scholarship
Publications
Over the years the support of the Calvin Center for Christian Scholarship has enabled scholars to produce some sixty-two books, several of which have gone into second editions. View the CCCS bibliography »
Projects
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 purpose of these groups is to bring together an interdisciplinary collection of colleagues who will, together, concentrate upon a particular issue, problem, or topic by meeting monthly and discussing texts they have chosen and read in common. More about Working Groups »Care Theory
Beginning in the 1999-2000 academic year, a group of scholars at Calvin College from a variety of disciplinary perspectives came together to share their own research, learn from others, and enjoy the mutually enhancing effects of truly inter-disciplinary scholarship on what is known as Care Theory. The CCCS provided the grant, which created room for the cross-disciplinary bibliography the CCCS is proud to share. More about Care Theory »
Great Barrier Island Research Grant
The CCCS provided funding for Dr. Janel Curry in 2002 to build on her interdisciplinary research on societal paradigms, worldview, and natural resource management through a research project on the development of a marine preserve on Great Barrier Island. The results for this grant can be viewed here.

"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.
