"Our world desperately needs thoughtful, compelling voices speaking truth into the toxic suspicion and tribalism of our broken culture. The Department of Languages, Literature, and Writing at Union teaches students to read with discernment, to cultivate a profound, multi-faceted understanding of both the Christian intellectual tradition and the roots of contemporary culture, to cherish the beauty and power of language and stories, to write with precision and grace, and to articulate the sanity and light of a biblical worldview to a lost and weary world."
