Faculty Stories – Austin Busch offers a taste of academic rigor springing from the faith of and being shared by an Associate Professor of Early World Literature at SUNY Brockport, even when looking at the Bible. To God be the glory!
Note 1: Yesterday, in Time to “Uncover” I gave attention to the labors of Dr. Lendol Calder. Don’t miss the shared theme of inductive Bible study opening the eyes to similar forms of study and contexts for learning in more than one disciplines (a topic to be considered further)! For additional material on Calder, I encourage you to read two InterVarsity pieces by Sarah Kirk: Financing the American Dream: Interview with the Author and InterVarsity Alumni – Lendol Calder.
Note 2: Renewing & Redeeming the Campus – What Can We Do? provides the notes from a presentation which I gave at the U. of Pennsylvania’s Graduate Christian Fellowship (PGCF). Enjoy exploring this topic more deeply. I should work on redeveloping this in light of the material Vinoth Ramachandra presented in the 2012 Henry Martyn Lectures and the Emerging Scholars Network’s subsequent exploration of dialogue. Anyone interested in discussing Renewing & Redeeming the Campus – What Can We Do? v2.0 on-line, on their campus, in their area/region? This would provide incentive for me to give this attention sooner rather than later 🙂

I really had no idea that the Christian community is trying to look at the bible through analytical eyes and not just religious eyes.
I am now an atheist wanting to understand the faith without being in it, hopefully becoming more objective about the faith.
