Summary: The Christian tradition, spanning thousands of years, offers a wealth of insight into perennial human questions--about such things as the shape of the good life, happiness, justice, truth, poverty, and wealth--and Christian scholars can do a lot of good by bringing that rich tradition into conversation with the broader culture. But what is the nature and purpose of distinctively Christian scholarship, and what does that imply for the life and calling of Christian scholars? What is it about Christian scholarship that makes it Christian? Ten eminent scholars grapple with such questions in this volume. They offer deep and thought-provoking discussions of the habits and commitments of the Christian scholar, the methodology and pedagogy of Christian scholarship, the role of the Holy Spirit in education, Christian approaches to art and literature, and more.
