While one might expect that academics would be models of intellectual curiosity, that is often not the case: sadly, they can be guilty of becoming bench-workers and narrow specialists who value advancement in their field more than the love of truth. As followers of the One who is the truth, Christian academics should embody not only intellectual integrity but intellectual curiosity. How can we nurture this sort of attitude, not only with respect to our work, but in our lives as a whole? How do we avoid becoming so oriented to the pressing demands of our work that we lose our thirst for a greater knowledge and understanding? These are some of the questions which this seminar will explore, in the hope of stimulating us to an expanded and sanctified curiosity which hungers after wisdom.
