CTI is the world’s only institute for advanced study dedicated to Theology. We do this work in conversation with other academic disciplines as we address the major issues facing the church, society and world. Center-initiated programs are geared to address significant questions which cannot be answered by individuals working in isolation from each other. Because of its flexible format and schedule, the Center is able to assemble research teams or panels which otherwise would not have been able to meet.

Princeton is a town where organized research is the principal business. In a relatively small area there are gathered scores of laboratories and institutes of inquiry representing dozens of disciplines and segments of the educational and business communities.

The Center is located on Stockton Street in Princeton, across from Morven, the former residence of one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, Richard Stockton, and the State's governors. Its location purposely signals its desire to stand between the University, Seminary and Institute for Advanced Studies, and also across from a symbolic center of politics and society.

We believe that the finest academic reflections on humankind’s relationship to God are necessary if we are to find hope in a society of despair, secure our fundamental human dignity and freedoms, and thrive in contemporary culture. If Theology is to have its appropriate place among other academic disciplines, comparable funding is required.

Given the state of the world and the church, a renaissance bringing Theology back into broad scholarly and public engagement with the major global issues of our time is desperately needed.

CTI is funded entirely by external research grants and donations to our annual fund or endowment. We have made a substantial, strategic and much-needed investment in our new building. We now ask for your help financially to ensure we can maximize the potential CTI has for its future. With your partnership, you will enable programming and public engagement, so that CTI can remain an academic leader in Theology for a world which needs its insights.

Money is never the ultimate good—

but having money enables us to reach our ultimate good.

Money won’t bring about this theological renaissance—

but a theological renaissance will not be possible without money.

If Science is worth billions,

isn’t the glory of God priceless and worth giving beyond measure?
