Synopsis: In this volume some of the outstanding Christian scholars
of our day reflect on how their minds have changed, how their
academic fields have changed over the course of their careers, and
the pressing issues that Christian scholars will need to address in
the twenty-first century. This volume offers an accessible portrait
of key trends in the world of Christian scholarship today.
Christian Thought in the Twenty-First Century features scholars
from Great Britain, Canada, the United States, and Switzerland. The
contributors represent a wide variety of academic backgrounds--from
biblical studies to theology, to religious studies, to history,
English literature, philosophy, law, and ethics. This book offers a
personal glimpse of Christian scholars in a self-reflective mode,
capturing their honest reflections on the changing state of the
academy and on changes in their own minds and outlooks. The breadth
and depth of insight afforded by these contributions provide rich
soil for a reader's own reflections, and an agenda that will occupy
Christian thinkers well into the twenty-first century.
Endorsements: "I heard many of the lecturers whose essays appear in
this book when they were guests of the Chair of Christian Thought
at the University of Calgary. Now they reappear to reflect
personally on how their minds and academic fields have changed over
the course of their careers. They tackle key issues in their
disciplines needing future attention and present their views as
authentic humans, not only as respected academics." --Wayne Holst
