Integrating Faith and Learning: The Christian University Perspective

This exploration delves into the integration of faith, learning, and life within a Christian university context. Recognizing the complexities of truth—whether through consensus, dogma, or perspective—the discussion emphasizes the qualitative nature of truth and the importance of critical thinking. It addresses the limitations of integration, such as finiteness, fragmentation, and fallenness, while proposing a thoughtful approach that respects received truths and rigorously challenges all truth claims. The ultimate goal is to link various pieces of truth coherently, valuing the entirety of understanding.
