[The Great RJ]

While I am a conservative and work at a Christian college, I disagree with the premise of this article. I too have seen students coming to our campus who are steeped in very fundamentalist values become confused and have a crisis of faith after being exposed to college teaching. However, I see the reason for this crisis of faith is that they have never really understood the "why" of what they believe. If their faith is based simply on the idea that this is the only way things are and that there can be no questioning of these "facts", they stand little chance in a secular world that will always challenge their beliefs.

A good Christian education should deepen their faith by teaching them to understand the why of what they believe.

excellent point...part of the problem is that many people
think professors have ALL the answers...I found out after
many years of schools that they do not. Remember, they got
their degree after about 8 years of school and hopefully
a good dissertation, and some teaching training...Now, go
to a library, look at all the literature in their own field
and see how much of their education encompassed the information
present in the library...You get your best education trying
to solve problems in the "real" world where a trillion factors
act on your information set. School is just the barebones framework from
which you can base your own work.
