“The work of being both Christian and academic has always been a challenge. While not all readers will follow every suggestion in this book, all who read it carefully will come away strengthened in their faith and in their ability to use the mind faithfully for the service of God. Read, ponder, and read again.”
—MARK A. NOLL, Francis A. McAnaney Professor of History,
University of Notre Dame
“When Charles Malik trumpeted his clarion call to save the mind as well as the soul, it was 1980. Malik, always a prophet, statesman, and Christian intellectual, was ahead of his time, and few had ears to hear his challenge. But times have changed. This is not just another Christian book on the mind. It is a wake-up call that should be read by all Christians interested in the world of ideas and apprenticeship to the Lord Jesus.”
—J. P. MORELAND, Distinguished Professor of Philosophy,
Talbot School of Theology, Biola University
“Charles Malik ranks with C. S. Lewis, Carl F. H. Henry, Harry Jellema, and Arthur Holmes in his perception of the critical role of the university in culture and of the desperate need for serious Christians to engage in the academic enterprise. Every Christian professor in every academic discipline should read every essay in this book. It could transform the way they understand their role in the university. That could transform the university and thereby transform culture.”
—JAMES W. SIRE, author of The Universe Next Door and Habits of the Mind
“Thirty years ago, with rare exceptions, it was difficult to find outspoken Christians in the Western intellectual world. Today the growing number of evangelicals and committed Catholics now found in secular academia may be viewed as a reflection of the vision of Charles Malik. This volume does an excellent job of describing the current status and dreams of the Malik vision.”
—HENRY F. SCHAEFER III, Graham Perdue Professor of Chemistry,
University of Georgia
“Charles Malik’s trumpet call from the steps of the Billy Graham Center in 1980 reverberates again. The formidable task of saving souls and minds is no less urgent, perhaps more so. But here we have hope evidenced. These authors see change, good change, blowing in the universities of the West. Read this call for courage, perseverance, and may God’s scholars take up the charge in our generation.”
—LON ALLISON, Director Billy Graham Center,
Associate Professor Wheaton Graduate School
“This does justice to the dignity and brilliance of Malik and to the greatness of Jesus Christ as our world’s only hope.”
—KELLY MONROE KULLBERG, author of Finding God at Harvard
“Craig and Gould have brought together an outstanding group of scholars, offering stimulating insights and interesting nuances. This volume is a rich source of ideas, challenge, and inspiration for all seeking to serve the kingdom as Christian academics.”
—STAN W. WALLACE, National Director, InterVarsity’s Faculty Ministry
“Christians have invested much in the task of evangelism and discipleship on university campuses. Meanwhile we have neglected the nexus of influence in the university, the classroom itself. This generation must take seriously Malik’s challenge by not merely ministering on the periphery of the campus, but by enabling well-credentialed godly women and men to teach at secular universities. Then we will fulfill Malik’s call and the challenge of this volume to proclaim the Lordship of Christ in the epicenter of our culture—in the university classroom.”
—DARYL MCCARTHY, President, International Institute for Christian Studies
“This inspiring collection of essays builds on and seeks to apply Malik’s original lecture across the disciplines. Readers will be inspired to give their lives to the great work of integrating faithful Christian living and witness with all that happens in and through the University.
