Liberty University:
Liberty University is a Christian academic
community in the tradition of evangelical institutions of higher education. As
such, Liberty continues the philosophy of education which first gave rise to the
university, summarized in the following propositions. God, the infinite source
of all things, has shown us truth through scripture, nature, history, and, above
all, in Christ. Persons are spiritual, rational, moral, social and physical,
created in the image of God. They are, therefore, able to know and to value
themselves and other persons, the universe and God. Education as the process of
teaching and learning involves the whole person, developing the knowledge,
values and skills which enable the individual to change freely. Thus it occurs
most effectively when both instructor and student are properly related to God
and each other through Christ.

Congress: The National Treasury of the Library Of Congress. Lots of

and encyclopedia entries and provides a look at topics including people,
wildlife, national parks, and various land forms.
