Center for Renewal Studies

The Center for Renewal Studies is a bridge between the academic world, the church, and the broader public. It is a cross-over organization that promotes the mutual exchange of ideas from a biblical, theological, and global perspective and with an interdisciplinary focus on the growing significance of the worldwide renewal movements. The operation of the Center is an extension of the Regent University School of Divinity’s emphasis on Renewal Studies, which pursues a methodological approach to global Christian engagement with discourses in the academy, church, and world as informed by critical reflection derived from charismatic movements and their practices throughout the history of God’s people. Taking seriously this approach, the Center extends the intentions of the programs and the mission of the School of Divinity beyond the academic realm, including a resource center, a public blog, public lecture series, seminars, exchange of visiting scholars from various disciplines, and sponsorship of other professional events and other venues related to the promotion of renewal.
