H. Henry Center for Theological Understanding (HCTU) is a ministry aimed at bridging the gap that all too often divides the academy and the church. The HCTU conducts a number of programs aimed at producing collaborative work between ministers, professionals, academics, and seminary faculty. The goal of this partnership is to advance Christian wisdom in all areas of life and thought\u2014in short, to enable people to apply the knowledge of God and themselves gleaned from Scripture in the rough and tumble of life. The work of the Center is thus aimed at promoting gospel-centered thinking and living with others\u2014from a variety of ethnic and social backgrounds\u2014for the glory of God, the good of his church, and the welfare of the world. The Center produces a number of publications, audio lectures, and video interviews available on their website.\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-393eb96 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"393eb96\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Programs<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-162a6f7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"162a6f7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul style=\"list-style: none;\">\n<li><b>Christ on Campus Initiative:<\/b> This series of publications is aimed at producing top-notch Christian scholarship on the most important issues related to college students.<\/li>\n<li><b>Creation Project:<\/b> The Creation Project is founded upon the belief that a revitalized doctrine of creation plays a vital, yet neglected role towards greater humility and new insights in our pursuit of ultimate reality.<\/li>\n<li><b>Deerfield Dialogue Group:<\/b> This gathering of TEDS faculty members is to enhance scholarship and discuss one another\u2019s research.<\/li>\n<li><b>Faculty Initiatives:<\/b> TEDS faculty members are awarded annual grants for the purpose of conducting conferences and summer workshops aimed at the mission of the Center.<\/li>\n<li><b>Hansen Fellowships:<\/b> Every year three TEDS PhD students are awarded a $10,000 tuition scholarship based on vocational and research interests related to the Center.<\/li>\n<li><b>Kantzer Lectures in Revealed Theology:<\/b> This series occurs every two years and takes a more academic approach to the contemporary issues in theology.<\/li>\n<li><b>Sapientia:<\/b> An online periodical of the Henry Center.
