Three Faith and Learning Links

December 7, 2010 by Micheal Hickerson Leave a Comment

First, my article "Faith and Faculty" has just been published on the InterVarsity homepage. The article relates how I came to be involved with the Emerging Scholars Network and why I care about Christian faculty and students. Here's a sneak peek: At the University of Louisville, I became an English major for some pretty shallow reasons: I wanted to read and write as much poetry and fiction as I could. When I came to faith in Christ during my junior year (with InterVarsity playing a central role), Christ gave me … [Read more...] about Three Faith and Learning Links

Who Are Your Heroes?

October 5, 2010 by Micheal Hickerson Leave a Comment

Superheroes

In the current issue of Christianity Today, Ted Olsen writes: Rice University sociologist D. Michael Lindsay says that of the evangelicals in cultural leadership he has studied, most notably for his 2007 book Faith in the Halls of Power, 39 percent named [William] Wilberforce, C. S. Lewis, or both men as their personal hero or icon. I'll admit —I don't put much stock in personal heroes. Not because of their personal failings, though —Olsen's article looks at revelations from Stephen Tomkin's new book The Clapham Sect … [Read more...] about Who Are Your Heroes?

Favorite book on Christ and culture?

May 23, 2010 by Micheal Hickerson Leave a Comment

Playmobil Nativity Set

I just ordered my copy of James Davison Hunter's To Change the World, which our Faculty Ministry team will be discussing later this summer. (Full disclosure: I wasn't impressed with Hunter's Christianity Today interview, so i'm hoping the book will change my mind.) But ordering the book made me wonder: What's your favorite book about Christ and culture? Maybe it's a classic like H. Richard Niebuhr's Christ and Culture (one of the first books I read after becoming a Christian in college). Or something more recent … [Read more...] about Favorite book on Christ and culture?

Best Books for New Faculty?

March 1, 2010 by Micheal Hickerson 6 Comments

Used book shop

We've previously asked for your recommendations for the best books for undergraduates (which had a tremendous response) and best books for graduate students (who must be harder to shop for). Thus, it only makes sense for me to ask: What are the best books for new faculty? If you need help getting started, here are a few categories: Practical advice books Books to take your theology and spiritual life to the next level Books on "culture making" (there's a leading category!), education, or other aspects of … [Read more...] about Best Books for New Faculty?
