Does business matter to God?

A guest post from Dr Xia Zhu. At creation, the mandate that God gave to humanity was for people to reflect and mirror God’s stewardship… This involves far more than religious enterprises or the church. It has to do with how we engage with scientific endeavours, how we do business, how Read more

Culture, Pluralistic Knowing, and Mutual Understanding

A guest post from Richard Vytniorgu. ‘Culture’ is a notoriously difficult word. For some it refers to art galleries and piano concerts; for others it refers to something faintly bacterial; while for others still it refers to the entire realm of human activity and life. Broadly speaking, in the arts and Read more

Evangelism among academics

A guest post from Mark Surey. Providence, like fortune, favours the prepared mind.  Although my C-A-N- role is primarily to offer pastoral and professional support to Christian academics, being a compulsive evangelist I am always praying for opportunities to present my faith to unbelievers.

Making good progress

Continuing our series on values for scholarship, David Hanson looks at God’s calling for humans to innovate. Scholarship is subject to cultural-formative norms.

The Logical Aspect of Reality and Thought

Roy Clouser starts our series on good scholarship with a look at the logical aspect of reality. We often speak of an idea or plan as “logical” using that as a term of praise. What we usually mean is that the idea makes sense or the plan appears a good way to proceed. Read more

‘Hallowed Be Thy Name’ in research

Dr Xia Zhu describes the role of Christian academic groups in her faith: I was brought up and educated in a system which believes in no god and claims that the reason why so many gods look like men is because they are simply human illusions. Ironically, it was in order Read more

Who needs faith in scholarship?

This week we present our first ever group post.  Some of the FiSch Fellows, plus guest Alan Chettle, each give their response to a question that we asked ourselves: “Who needs faith in scholarship?” Richard: “Students…” Just by starting a masters or PhD programme, you demonstrate a conviction that it’s worth devoting Read more
