Founded in 1976 in the legacy of C. S. Lewis, the Institute endeavors to develop disciples who can articulate, defend, and live faith in Christ through personal and public living.
"If you take your stand on the ‘prevalent’ view, how long do you suppose it will prevail? . . . All you can say about my taste is that it is old fashioned; yours will soon be the same."
C.S. Lewis, Experiment in Criticism, (1961),
p. 105-106.
