It began with a vision- to see university students rise up to speak, to echo and to defend Truth, which is otherwise; dying among men and women of the present age.
Confronted by a serious intellectual drain and appreciation for Truth in the campus culture, a group of Christian students in University of Malaya, Malaysia decided to meet to probe into tough questions, ideas and issues about Truth, Life and Christianity.
A spark of continuity was ignited then, and the group decided to meet again in March. The magnitude of the earthquakes in Indonesia had raised serious questions on evil, suffering and the sovereignty of God; and this group of men and women sensed a need to respond to these questions with theological perspectives.
As the consistency of the meetings grew, the group decided to look into constructing a feasible model that could fit into the context of local universities.
In August 2005, the first Christ Seminar meeting was held. Christians students, ranging from first years to final years, gathered to listen, share and converse with one another on the importance of theology.
These are university students who are passionate and concerned for the pursuit of knowledge and conveying messages of the Truth, the Way and the Life to the campus community at large.
In a seemingly confusing world where false ideologies and principles continue to uproot Truth itself, it is in the hopes of these students to present not the alternative ways to lead a purposeful Life through the philosophies of men, but to reintroduce the true meaning of Life through the life and resurrection of Jesus Christ Himself.
Today, Christ Seminar continues to establish its role in challenging students to rethink, reconsider and to be reformed in their quest for Truth and Life.
