 Scholarship
and Christian Faith: Enlarging the Conversation
By Douglas Jacobsen
and Rhonda Hustedt
Jacobsen with a foreword by Martin E. Marty
(Oxford University Press, 2004)
Including
essays by Susanna Caroselli, Edward Davis, Crystal Downing, Kim Phipps,
Rodney Sawatsky, and David Weaver-Zercher
This landmark study raises the discussion of scholarship and Christian
faith to a new level. The defensiveness that pervades so many publications
in this field is jettisoned and a new positive, multi-dimensional definition
of Christian scholarship is advanced. This vision of scholarship respects
the insights of different Christian traditions (e.g., Catholic, Pentecostal,
Reformed, Anabaptist, Wesleyan) and is intentionally designed to apply
to business, technical studies, and the arts as much as it applies to
the humanities and the natural and social sciences. Scholarship and Christian
Faith engages Christians working in church-related higher education and
the mainstream academy, and lays the groundwork for a new dialogue among
all scholars, whether Christians or not, about the rightful place of faith
in the academy.
