Christian Scholar's Review

Founded in 1970, Christian Scholar’s Review serves as a platform for communication among Christians engaged in academic pursuits. Its main goal is to publish peer-reviewed research and scholarship that fosters the integration of faith and knowledge. The journal aims to deepen the understanding of creation, culture, vocation, and the responsibilities of individuals as created by God. Additionally, it offers a space for discussing teaching methods and theoretical topics relevant to Christian higher education. Contributions are welcomed from Christian scholars of all denominations, as well as from those who support faith-based scholarship, with the aim of strengthening Christian academic communities and promoting dialogue with other religious and academic groups.

Living Humanely Amid Our Inhumanity

3 weeks ago | christianscholars.com | Matt Lundberg |Jessica Martin

I just finished watching the series A Small Light (currently available on Amazon Prime) with my wife and 17-year-old daughter. The three of us are going to the Netherlands in a few days, me for a conference and a bit of sightseeing, and the two of them exclusively for sightseeing during my daughter’s spring break. My wife—who is obsessed with film and literature focused on the Holocaust—insisted on my daughter and me watching it, in part to prepare for some of the places we will visit.

“Grab drinks? We don’t even share the same elevators!”For the past five years, in addition to being a professor of communication, I’ve served as co-director of Biola University’s Winsome Conviction Project that seeks to open lines of communication between people entrenched in ideological, political, or theological disagreements.
An Ancient Tool for Change in a New University World

2 months ago | christianscholars.com | Larry Locke

It is a season of change in the American higher education world. The technological tsunami of online education has broken across the university beachfront and the economic efficiency for students being able to earn a degree without leaving home, and often at reduced tuition, has produced a massive increase in online programs. At the same time, universities have found they can use online classes to globalize their student body without having to invest in bricks and mortar.

This January: Fifty Percent Off at the Christmas Shop

Jan 13, 2025 | christianscholars.com | Katie Kresser

I have a complicated relationship with seasonal Christmas shops. I’ll bet a lot of us do. It began in the 1990s. Like most adolescents, I developed a contrarian streak when it came to the elders’ sacred cows. December rituals around Christmas Tree Shops (or their copycats) were no exception. I had a lot of reasons for disdaining these temples of holiday glitz.
Grounded: God in the Dirt

Dec 17, 2024 | christianscholars.com | Katie Kresser

Starting around the year 1400, a new kind of Nativity Scene began to grace European art – and Italian Renaissance art, particularly. Before, Nativity scenes often featured Mary holding a swaddled baby Jesus and surrounded by animals and worshippers in a stable. The new formula, however, showed the baby Jesus lying naked on the ground, his mother and father at a distance. Sometimes, the customary animals and shepherds were not present at all.
Be the Hope You Seek

Dec 4, 2024 | christianscholars.com | Margaret Diddams

A friend asked me not so long ago, “Where can we find hope in such uncertain times?” Many of us have been asking this reasonable and pressing question for much of the past five years. As Christians, we can easily recite a couple of the 140 Bible verses that, in various different stories and admonitions, tell us that our struggles have meaning because our hope is in God. But what exactly is that hope?
Doctors Crossing Borders, and Other Perils of Professional Training

Nov 19, 2024 | christianscholars.com | Larry Locke

This fall I am teaching an Honors Seminar designed for students in my home university’s College of Health Sciences. The students are all eager to pursue their professional careers as medical doctors, nurses, and physical therapists. Sadly, only 10% of them have expressed any interest in practicing in those parts of the world where they are most needed. Should Christian universities and Christian professors advocate for medical missions, either short-term or career-long?

The Artistic Sphere: The Arts in Neo-Calvinist Perspective Published by IVP Academic in 432pp / $45.00 / 978-1514007976 The words of Calvinists like Kuyper on the one hand, and secular “formalists” like Greenberg on the other, can sometimes seem interchangeable.
