The John Newport Foundation
A Resource
The mission of the Newport Foundation is to be a resource for
Christian education and leadership as reflected in the life,
writings, and teachings of the late John P. Newport.
An
Approach
Dr. Newport was a brilliant philosopher, theologian and educator. He
had unusual abilities as a synthesizer and reconciler. One of his
greatest contributions to biblical philosophy and theology was his
style of bringing together diverse strands of knowledge and
perspectives from various intellectual disciplines into a consistent
worldview. The Newport Foundation seeks to continue this needed
approach.
A
Commitment
By developing a wide range of print, audio / video materials,
Internet-based resources and the John P. Newport Chair of Christian
philosophy at the George W. Truett Theological Seminary, the
Foundation demonstrates its commitment to quality Christian ministry
and lay leadership that reflect the worldview seen in the life and
works of Dr. Newport.
A
Conference
The Foundation also hosts national and regional conferences and
seminars for ministers, professors, academicians, teachers, students
and Christian laity. One of the Foundation’s most important
activities is its annual National Leadership Conference and Newport
Awards Banquet.
