Educational Philosophy

LeTourneau University is committed to educational studies within the framework of a Christian theistic view of the world, of man, and of man's culture in the light of Biblical and natural revelation.  Such a view sees no dichotomy in truth, affirms that Biblical revelation and scientific inquiry are complementary rather than contradictory, and requires a recognition of a personal God revealed both in nature and in the person of Jesus Christ, His Son.  Thus, all truth is regarded as God given and is considered sacred and should be pursued with diligence and received with humility.

The Scriptures are seen as the integrating core for Christian education; therefore, courses in Bible are required to help the student understand more fully the bearing of the Christian faith on life and thought.

The Christian world view of man recognizes both his physical and spiritual nature; therefore, an educational philosophy that includes the whole man and his relationship to the world and to God is imperative.
