The Work of Christian Academics Within the Academy and Beyond - Darrell Bock

How can Christian academics live faithfully in what is largely a secular environment? This is a question that has been forced upon us as our culture has become so post-Christian. In this session, we will begin with a few opening remarks about the secular academic environment and then generate a conversation about what it requires of us as listeners as well as students of culture. How we approach the space, how we engage it, the tone it requires and how to deal with the results that often are challenging are among the topics covered.<br />
