New Tips Series: Growing Spiritually in Your Academic Life

October 28, 2018 by Mary Poplin Leave a Comment

Life in the university promises a chance to think about the big questions in life, to reflect on who we are and what we're learning. But all too often, life as an academic seems so busy as to overwhelm any chance at contemplation; it can be a struggle to figure out even how to have daily time with God. For our fall tips series, we're asking writers to share a brief tip or idea on building your spiritual life in your role as an academic. We're thrilled that longtime friend of ESN Mary Poplin has agreed to start the … [Read more...] about New Tips Series: Growing Spiritually in Your Academic Life

Engaged Learning, YouTube, and Audience Needs

October 12, 2018 by W. Brian Lane Leave a Comment

W. Brian Lane is a physics professor who wrote the very first post for  Scholar's Compass,  our ongoing online devotional for academics. This fall, he's writing a series on engaged learning and how it can help Christian academics teach well in the university and the church.

Introducing Kuyper’s “Sphere Sovereignty”

September 26, 2014 by Dan Jesse 5 Comments

The fourth post in a series introducing the thought of Abraham Kuyper. The series draws from and interacts with Richard Mouw's  Abraham Kuyper: A Short and Personal Introduction  (Eerdmans, 2011).   Kuyper's love of multiplicity and unity ran deep. He thought it was the bedrock of creation, as shown previously. We discussed what not to do with diversity and unity and now it falls on us to examine what the proper use of the two realities is. Kuyper's answer lays in a key concept that is not fully developed, that … [Read more...] about Introducing Kuyper’s “Sphere Sovereignty”

Bowen contends that the onslaught of technological resources that in the minds of many jeopardize traditional higher education can in fact enhance the basic thing professors and teachers do in the classroom–advance student learning. And the way this occurs is for those who teach to … [Read more...] about Book Review: Teaching Naked
