Subject: IS there any answers out there? |
Bible Note: Joe - On the "need to be more thinking Christians glorifying God in the realm of academia" -- most surely I agree heartedly. This summer during a visit to my daughter's home in Cape Cod, I happened to engage in a long conversation with an Oxford don who has a summer home in the Hyannis area. Among other subjects we discussed C. S. Lewis who was also an Oxford don. I gathered from the drift of the professor's conversation that even in Lewis' time a Christian apologist was something of a rara avis on the Oxford campus and that the term "thinking Christian" would be considered an oxymoron by the majority of the dons of today. To a large degree in our American society -- and even a larger in the British -- "Bible thumper" has become a synonym for "bigot," "idiot," or a blend of both: "bigoted idiot." --Hank |
