Pressezitat
"The essays in this collection will prove relevant to all faculty, graduate students, and undergraduates seeking to be Christians of incarnational faith in the academy. ... Scales and Howell have collected excellent essays that reflect the common desire to integrate faith and learning. ... The conversation that Scales and Howell facilitate does not reinforce a weak conjoining of faith and learning, but calls for a stewardship wholly animated and brought to life by faith." (Paige Ray, International Journal of Christianity & Education, Vol. 22 (2), 2018)
