There is no shortage of ideas in the world today — and certainly none on university campuses. Everyone seems to have strong thoughts, opinions, theories, questions and points of view they are more than willing to post or share at a momentʼs notice. This is our aim for this issue — to wade into the ideological ocean and bring a few key ideas to the surface for our collective attention. Weʼll explore certain tenets of the Olivet ethos such as God, calling, vocation, service, inspiration and influence. As you engage with the articles and authors, we hope you will be inspired to think new thoughts and dream big dreams. And may we all experience the power and presence of the Holy Spirit guiding our thoughts, as we return once again to the single
greatest enduring idea of all of human history. That is, “Jesus Christ — in us — the hope of glory.”
