Science Once Again Dispels the Notion of “Junk”

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful; I know that full well. – Psalm 139:14 Protein biogenesis in eukaryotic cells proceeds through a highly coordinated series of molecular events that begin in the nucleus. Gene expression initiates with transcription by complex molecular machines mostly composed of proteins, during which…

Does Christian Faith Make a Difference in Mathematics?

Mathematics and logic are probably the two fields deemed least susceptible to religious influence. Doesn’t 2 + 2 = 4 and a2 + b2 = c2 (the Pythagorean Theorem) hold whether you’re a Christian, a Muslim, or an atheist? How can religious faith affect the truths of arithmetic or geometry? As a baby boomer growing…

Scholarship in Company: Collaboration as a Christian Practice

As I head back into the regular rhythm of the school year and reflect on my summer, I find myself thinking about how much of it was spent writing and thinking alongside other people. Some of that work has been on two edited volumes: reading and responding to colleagues' chapters, debating introductions, moving texts around,…

Hockey and the Academic Calling

One of the first things I learned when I started graduate school was how to be a hockey coach. Actually, this happened several weeks before I registered for any courses at the University of Alberta. We arrived in Edmonton—four hundred miles north of the Montana border—well before the first academic term began. We had no…

The Death of Religion? A Common American Fear

From our nation’s beginnings, Americans have feared the death of religion. The Puritans had not even arrived in the New World before they started predicting what would happen should they prove faithless to the Lord. In his “Model of Christian Charity” address, given to English Puritans departing for New England in 1630, Massachusetts Bay Company…

What Does a Christian Approach to Supporting Diversity Entail?

I imagine many readers of Christian Scholars Review are aware of Tyler Austin Harper's Atlantic essay, "Confessions of a Token Black Professor." Harper writes about the five years he spent as a tenure-track professor of environmental studies at Bates College in Lewiston, Maine. During his years at Bates, he says he was treated more as…

Rest and Sabbath (part 1)

It is no secret that the western world’s relationship with time, work, and community is complicated, generally unhealthy, and does not lead to restful, delighted lives. We tend to continually desire more and perfection, and so tend not to stop, cease, rest, or enjoy community. Three recent books seek to reconstruct our theology and habits…
