As I read a bit further, Noll qualifies his earlier statement to say that it&amp;#39;s not as if evangelicalism&amp;#39;s goal is to be accepted by the academy. At the beginning of ch. 2, he discusses this in detail, that an appeal to intellectual thinking must be nuanced further. However, I also think he would say that it is lamentable that most evangelicals think Christianity has nothing to say with regard to most of the major disciplines that people study. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, he mentions that seminaries and so forth are somewhat insulated from the wider &amp;quot;anti-intellectualism&amp;quot; but I think his main point has to do with those who are &lt;i&gt;not&lt;/i&gt; in ministry or attending seminaries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think your final sentence hit the nail on the head and I&amp;#39;m pretty sure Noll (as far as I can tell) would agree with me on that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The book is pretty interesting, I&amp;#39;ll try to read a bit more when I get the chance and post up other thoughts or quotes to further our discussion!</description><link>http://ms-rflx.blogspot.com/2011/05/quote-of-day.html?showComment=1306277327980#c3134431278988799397</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Mike S.)</author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://ms-rflx.blogspot.com/2011/05/quote-of-day.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-537473844518448438.post-350026171479051125' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/537473844518448438/posts/default/350026171479051125' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty name="blogger.itemClass" value="pid-1303295546"/><gd:extendedProperty name="blogger.displayTime" value="May 24, 2011 at 3:48 PM"/></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-537473844518448438.post-7194399902807650472</guid><pubDate>Tue, 24 May 2011 21:14:23 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-05-24T14:14:23.031-07:00</atom:updated><title>Malik: &amp;quot;Who among the evangelicals can stand ...</title><description>Malik: &amp;quot;Who among the evangelicals can stand up to the great secular or naturalistic or atheistic scholars on their own terms of scholarship and research?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Can I even discourse on secular, naturalistic or atheistic terms when my whole framework of thought is religious, spiritual, theistic and even Christological?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think the best headway evangelicals have made is the movement away from feeling like we need to play by secular intellectual rules. I don&amp;#39;t think this has hit popular Evangelicalism on a widespread or deeply reflective scale, but I think (though maybe a bit too optimistically) the generation of folks going through seminaries now will continue this turn in the local churches. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most Evangelical discourse I have heard lamenting the evils of modern universities is not fundamentally against thinking &lt;i&gt;in se&lt;/i&gt;, but rather thinking from and within an intellectual tradition and academic culture that tends to marginalize Evangelical Christianity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, does Noll set it up as a competition as if there is some kind of cold war in the arena of the academy that Evangelicals must win? I have only glanced at his stuff before so I can&amp;#39;t make that accusation. But if that is the case, I think we need to jettison that framework. We need to think critically for the sake of following Christ as history marches on, not because we need the Western intellectual machine to function on our terms.</description><link>http://ms-rflx.blogspot.com/2011/05/quote-of-day.html?showComment=1306271663031#c7194399902807650472</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)</author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://ms-rflx.blogspot.com/2011/05/quote-of-day.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-537473844518448438.post-350026171479051125' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/537473844518448438/posts/default/350026171479051125' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty name="blogger.itemClass" value="pid-259774947"/><gd:extendedProperty name="blogger.displayTime" value="May 24, 2011 at 2:14 PM"/></item></channel></rss>
