It is becoming apparent that the secularized modern university that descended from the Christian universities of the past is having an identity crisis.
The reason most often given is our failure to produce a morally or spiritually persuasive substitute for the authority that under-girded the intellectual culture of our predecessors.
In this final volume of the Scripture and Hermeneutic Series, a group of distinguished scholars have sought to understand the role of the Bible in relation to the academic disciplines in a fresh way.
Offered in a spirit of humility and experimentally, the essays here consider the historic role of the Bible in the university, the status of theological reflection regarding Scripture among the disciplines today, the special role of Scripture in the development of law, the humanities and social sciences, and finally, some consideration for the way the Bible speaks to issues of academic freedom, intellectual tolerance and religious liberty.
