Can CHRISTIANITY and Education REALLY Mix?
“For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe” (1 Corinthians 1:21). How can Christian students and scholars reconcile statements like this with the earnest pursuit of understanding that is encouraged elsewhere in the Bible? Is it possible to openly engage with the honest exchange of ideas while adhering to doctrinal standards and remaining committed to faith? Dr. Brian Doak and Dr. Joseph Clair weigh in on these questions while evaluating the purpose and value of a Christian university.
Dr. Joseph Clair serves as the associate provost for the Division of Humanities, Honors, and Education at George Fox University. He is also a professor of theology and culture
Dr. Brian Doak is an Old Testament scholar and professor.
