Seeking the Truth
Towards the end of World War II, German academic Karl Jaspers wrote, "The university is a community of scholars and students engaged in the task of seeking the truth." Jaspers was seeking to rebuild German universities after the horror of Hitler's reign. His words resonate in my mind as I consider PBU as a biblical university. For PBU this means that students and faculty are part of a great conversation in the pursuit of God and his truth. This truth begins with the Lord Jesus who is the way, the truth, and the life. Our pursuit of truth expands to include the truth found in Scripture. Finally, the PBU community of faculty and students are on the wisdom path, seeking truth in God's world wherever it may be found.
