The Right Kind of Worldliness: A History of Calvin Seminar and University by William Katerberg
3:30 p.m. – 4:15 p.m. Book Reception for "The Right Kind of Worldliness — A History of Calvin Seminary and University" authored by William Katerberg

Calvin started in 1876 as a “trade school” for Christian Reformed pastors with seven students and one professor, all Dutch American, a theological program, and a liberal arts preparatory program. As it evolved into a college and seminary, it embraced a vision of integrating faith in all areas of learning. Today, CU and CTS have some 4,000 students, from around the world, and dozens of academic and professional programs, yet they remain animated by Reformed Christianity. Will’s new book puts their story in an American and global context and explores a dynamic tension between engaging the world and wariness about it that has shaped them.
