Scholar’s Call: The Student Who Walked Away

March 21, 2016 by Paul Yandle No Comments

I do not claim to be a great teacher today, though I’d like to think I am getting better. When I first started teaching I was woefully inadequate to the task. Research and writing came naturally to me. Standing in front of a room full of people and commanding respect did not.

Scholar’s Call: The Joy of Becoming a Generalist

March 7, 2016 by Paul Yandle No Comments

The first day of the fall semester of my senior undergraduate year, I ran into a friend of mine, a fellow history major, outside of the student union building at the research university we attended. We stopped and talked for a bit, updating each other on our lives and comparing our fall schedules. My friend had just been to the university bookstore, and he showed me a textbook he had just bought for a History of the Old South class that the history department was offering that fall.

Harper Lee and the Unintended Prescience of Go Set a Watchman

October 16, 2015 by Paul Yandle 1 Comment

Last February, HarperCollins announced that it was going to publish this long-forgotten work by Lee, the Alabamian who put away her typewriter and spent decades fending off pesky questions about her abortive writing career after she was overwhelmed by the phenomenal success of To Kill a Mockingbird more than fifty years ago.

Surely the Lord Was in the Rare Books Room, Part 2 (Scholar’s Compass)

June 28, 2015 by Paul Yandle No Comments

Christians in university settings can all too often find in the church and in academe two cultures that lead us to discouragement. The most uptight Pharisees can miss Christ just as easily as the most ardent skeptics by failing to see the God that they have misdefined in the first place.
