The Hall of Reason is a public lecture series and open forum dedicated to exploring the relationship between faith, reason, and the human experience.

What Is Biblical Literacy? Biblical Literacy is a dynamic, in-depth Bible study led by attorney and biblical scholar Mark Lanier. Combining legal insight, cultural context, and original languages, the class explores how Scripture remains relevant and life-giving today.
