Michael Murray, Templeton's executive vice president of programs, said he hoped the Biola grant would help develop "the thought leadership" among conservative evangelical academics in the way that Roman Catholic universities have for their constituency. He commended Biola for being willing to open its doors to Christian scholars who may not follow evangelical beliefs and may prove controversial. Some other Christian colleges are "not typically open to that type of scholarly engagement," Murray said.
