History and Political Science Club

The King College History and Political Science Club exists to preserve a scholarly atmosphere in regard to the knowledge of history and political science. We host lectures from leading politicians, historians, professors, theologians, and even physicists. (Also included in this year's events were a hamburger feast and a paintball outing.) The History and Political Science Club is concerned with demonstrating and preserving a Christian worldview in academia and exploring how history and politics should be engaged in while being faithful to the Scriptures. For example, in the most recent year, we met every Wednesday to study the Francis Schaeffer series, "How Should We Then Live." One of our guests this year was Howard Phillips, Presidential Candidate 2000 for the Constitution Party. While not everyone will agree with Schaeffer or Phillips, these are examples of two men attempting to use the wisdom of God to evaluate history and politics. We hope that the same vision is true of the History and Political Science Club.
