Description
On September 27-29, 2001 Calvin College concluded its 125th anniversary celebrations with an international, interdisciplinary conference centered on the topic, "Christian Scholarship ... for What?" The title, a variation on Robert Lynds provocative address to the American social science establishment in 1938, acknowledged that faith-based scholarship has come of age. It is no longer a question of whether we will produce, publish, and read Christian scholarship. Rather, we must turn our attention to improving such scholarship and thinking deeply about the purposes to which it is directed. The conference, with its seven plenary and forty-seven concurrent sessions, attracted nearly 500 participants from around the world. Faculty; graduate students, church leaders, and interested laypersons from many different academic disciplines and Christian traditions gathered to think together about the project of Christian scholarship. This book includes the six major addresses, which were given at the conference.
