The Rivendell Institute was created in 1995 by five couples at Yale University. It focuses on bringing an understanding of Christianity to the Yale academic community. It is one of a number of new Christian study centers that have developed in the last 25 years, as part of a growing para-university movement. In 2008 they were a co-sponsor of a Francis Collins lecture at Yale. In 2006 it was a co-sponsor of a Stephen L. Carter lecture at Yale. The institute has also been acknowledged as providing "support of the most enduring kind" in the preface to a 2008 Cambridge University Press book Religion And American Foreign Policy, 1945-1960: The Soul of Containment. Its current director is David Mahan. Other fellows include Jon Hinkson, Rick Schneider, and Greg Ganssle.
