26 jun 1996 ano - John Mark Reynolds starts Torrey

Descrição:

Started as part of his Ahmanson funded post-doc under the Provost Sherwood Lingenfelter.

John Mark cites many influences on his founding and shaping of Torrey:

- an ideal of Oxford

- Al Geier

- Philip Johnson, Reason in the Balance (JMNR calls this "The book that still shapes the educational experience at Torrey" (https://www.firstthings.com/blogs/firstthoughts/2010/03/books-that-changed-my-life)

- A.E. Taylor "(Taylor has influenced my entire career. Letters from Taylor to a father regarding the need for a classical education for his son hang on the wall of my office at The Saint Constantine School" http://www.saintconstantine.org/eliot-dry-salvages-christian-philosophy-taylor/#footnotes)

- Fount Shults (at JMNR's Bible college) "showed
a hunger for God's inerrant Word combined
with an openness to new ideas." (https://www.hbu.edu/publications/hbunews/NewsV-49_N2_09-2012.pdf)

JMNR on HEAD HEART HAND
https://www.hbu.edu/publications/hbunews/NewsV-49_N2_09-2012.pdf
"...God helping us we will train our minds to govern passions and submit every thought to Jesus. Christians need fear no idea, but instead have a chance to reconcile everything, all of creation, to Jesus Christ. Our heads will be made harmonious to reality. Why should Satan be allowed any inch of ground in God's earth? If art is beautiful, it belongs to King Jesus. If an action is good, it belongs to His Church. If an idea is true, then it is His truth. God helping us we will learn to live God with all our hearts. Some seem to reason well, but they are cold-hearted to the Holy Spirit. If anti-intellectualism is a sin, then intellectualism is just as bad. The man or woman with a heart cold to the Gospel can no more serve our culture than the person with nothing to say. God helping us we will have hands that serve all of Houston, Texas, America and then the world. We may mean well and have good plans, but if we do not act then our best intentions and schemes are useless. The power required to act must come from God, but the will must be there. Head, heart and hand, we will become whole souls and challenge the stunted secularism of this time. "
