The Gospel and the Mind: Recovering and Shaping the Intellectual Life

Date recorded: 24 May 2017 | Speaker: Bradley Green
Topic: Education
The Gospel and the Mind

Description

Having helped to start a Christian school and spent years teaching in a university setting, Dr. Green has spent years thinking through the nature of the Christian faith in relation to learning – in other words, the relationship between the Gospel and the mind. This talk will explore an observation and a question. The observation: wherever the cross is planted, the academy follows. That is, when the Christian faith takes root in a culture, inevitably there emerge forms of intellectual inquiry and activity. The question: why? What is it about the Christian faith which encourages and fires the life of the mind? In this talk we will explore this important issue.
