The KLC Research Collective

Amidst the hard secularism and pervasive individualism of the West the KLC Research Collective (KRC) is counter-cultural in its concern with Christian scholarship in community, rooted in spirituality, oriented towards how then shall we live? A central concern of KLC is to have a research community at the heart of our work, viz. the KLC Research Collective. Through the KRC we seek to facilitate communal, inter-disciplinary scholarship coram deo, for the glory of God and the flourishing of the church and the world.

“I have come to see that theological ethics or public theology, far from being a marginal discipline, is really the culmination of Christian insight from across the disciplines.

The niche we think KLC needs to fill is that of high-level Christian research across the disciplines oriented towards the question, ‘How then shall we live?'”

Research Hubs

Under the wider umbrella of the KRC we have organically developing discipline-specific hubs, including areas like Mathematics, Sustainability, Economics, International Relations, Technology, and more. Our four Scripture Collective Seminars also function as hubs.

The World Evangelical Alliance Project

Evangelicalism is a global movement facing challenges on many fronts, some political, some social, some theological. The World Evangelical Alliance (WEA) and KLC have partnered together to begin a conversation about what “evangelical” means for the twenty-first century.
