Reflections on Christian Scholarship

One of our chief goals is to inte­grate our bib­li­cal and aca­d­e­m­ic per­spec­tives on life. If you think it’s hard as an under­grad, just wait for grad school!

To help you out, Leader U has a spe­cial set of arti­cles relat­ed to Chris­t­ian schol­ar­ship.

Some that caught my eye:

Check out On Inte­grat­ing Your Faith for a brief set of relec­tions on com­bin­ing your schol­ar­ship and spir­i­tu­al­i­ty. I liked the inno­vat­ed idea of tithing your research.

I was also struck by The Call­ing of a Chris­t­ian Pro­fes­sor (mean­ing a Chris­t­ian pro­fes­sor at a sec­u­lar school). If that’s what God is call­ing you to do, check it out!

Also con­sid­er The Out­ra­geous Idea of Chris­t­ian Schol­ar­ship. George Mars­den argues that “Chris­t­ian per­spec­tives should make at least as much dif­fer­ence as fem­i­nist per­spec­tives.” Hear, hear!

Final­ly, you might want to check out Toward Inte­grat­ing Your Life and Work for a chal­lenge towards view­ing schol­ar­ship as a voca­tion that mat­ters to God.
