Why I Teach at Regent
Regent is a place at which I am free and encouraged to apply biblical principles, and right reason within the bounds of those principles, to my teaching of politics. It is a joy to teach students at Regent not merely to help them to learn a collection of political facts but also to help them apply biblical principles and right reason to the study of politics in order to improve their ability to make good political judgments about those facts.
