Most of the underlying values and principles of scholarly research are inherently neutral or even highly honourable. However, just like everything else, without God, these good traits can, and have, become dysfunctional. In this interactive session, we will take a critical yet hopeful look at spiritual challenges and opportunities in our individual and collective pursuits of knowledge. We will share experiences and insights on how Christian scholars can operate with God, not apart from Him, and discuss how academic work can be redeemed for Kingdom purposes.
