"I feel like two people wrote chpt one!" said one prof. Indeed, Paul Gould goes "philosopher" on us with the section using the term "Metanarrative" on pg 31. (He is a philosopher after all, so let's be patient..." What do you think of his attempt to describe the "big story"? Some feel there needs to be more mentioned re the creation and the ultimate goal of God to RESTORE all things, including salvation for those who are lost, but also the creation....and a better life here and now. What do you think??
pgs 40-50 The fully integrated life.....his definition on pg 40-do you agree? Absolute truth is rejected by many....we must be"comitted pluralists" ...most have liked that term. Most fields cry out for Chritian leadership , not domination. Are there well known Christian voices in your field?
CS Lewis advocated for "explicit" and "implicit" research...and followers of Christ should simply be the best. Does that motivate you....or intimidate you???
Do you think the intelligent design movement is a good example of latent Christian research?"
Ultimately, in the final pages, the call is to be a certain kind of person....can you spend a few moments reflecting on this??
A potentially guilt inducing question: Are students and colleagues attracted to the kind of person you are??
I would say, from what I know of those who come to meetings and studies regularly, the answer is yes!!
