Sowing goodness, truth, and beauty through the Christian intellectual tradition
The Christian Study Center for MSU provides a space for Christian thought to flourish amid the scholarly and academic life of Michigan State University. This ecumenical learning and research community serves students, faculty, and the broader public by cultivating the Christian intellectual tradition within the academic disciplines.
Whatsoever a man soweth....
Beaumont Tower is an iconic structure in the center of campus at Michigan State University. Etched on Beaumont Tower are the words of Galatians 6:7, “Whatsoever a Man Soweth.” The Christian Study Center for MSU seeks to embody these words by sowing the goodness, truth, and beauty that are unique to the Christian intellectual tradition. Influenced by the agricultural origins of Michigan State University, this center cultivates ecumenical community, intellectual friendship, and fruitful dialogue.
