What Role Does Christian Scholarship Play in the Church?

C.S. Lewis said “To be ignorant and simple now -- not to be able to meet the enemies on their own ground -- would be to throw down our weapons, and to betray our uneducated brethren who have, under God, no defense but us against the intellectual attacks of the heathen. Good philosophy must exist, if for no other reason, because bad philosophy needs to be answered.” On this episode Dr. Harry Edwards leads a discussion with Dr. Jacob Daniel and Lenny Esposito on the importance of Christian scholarship in the service of the church. Here we make the case for it, explain why the church has abdicated the role of being experts in the arts and sciences, and a way forward to recapture a love for knowledge in the church.
