doc summers on Tiger Mountain

I don’t know whether or not the current news about finding God at Harvard is anything like God and Man at Yale (that’s a while back), but Kelly Monroe Kullberg has a new book coming out next March, Finding God at Harvard (Intervarsity, 2007). In line with I wrote in another post, the Truth-prospectors should be expected to find what they’re after in Cambridge, Mass.; after all, they’re looking . . . (isn’t there a rule about that in Heb. 11:6?). Witness the endeavors of the Veritas Forum, and the surge in recent years of student Christian organizations at HU and elsewhere. They are among the more obvious guides to the gold, so to speak, but that which satisfies. End.

Well . . . if Harvard U proposes requiring a course integrating issues of faith and reason for all students, then what shall the rest of us do?

I’m referring to a Harvard curriculum committee proposal noted in The Dallas Morning News 27OCT06, article by Rev. John I. Jenkins (Notre Dame president) and their provost Thomas Burish.

Students on Tiger Mountain take religion courses. Of course the Harvard thing is only surprising because it’s an all-university requirement, and because it is meant to tackle the “profoundly secular” intellectual and campus culture there. After 370 years that’s not so shocking, or it might be. (more…)
