Why Does It Matter? I am currently a tenured full professor of philosophy and religious studies at Arizona State University where I have been teaching for 25 years.  During that time, I have seen many humanities professors who claim to be wise but who cannot even teach their students what is good.  They lie to these students and say that their classes and degrees will help them get a job better than other, much more useful degrees.  I wrote this Guide to help you choose a professor.  Choose wisely. If you’re planning to study philosophy, religion, literature, or history, you’ll be taking humanities classes. Even if you don’t major in these fields, you’ll still need to take general education courses in the humanities to graduate. A good humanities class should…

The Christian student who attends a secular university will encounter very recognizable challenges to his/her Christian faith. As a professor who has taught in a secular university for 24 years, attended faculty meetings where professors discuss how to deconstruct the faith of Christian students, and seen firsthand the animosity administrators have toward Christianity, I am giving you an inside look at the workings of the secular university. Did God Really Say . . . ? I have outlined these ten challenges to illustrate the original temptation in order to show that they follow a similar strategy and that little has changed. “Did God really say? . . . You will not surely die” (Gen. 3:1). God knows the day you eat you will be as God knowing good and evil.…

Think about the implications of this statistic: “55 percent of American adults now believe that science and religion are often in conflict”: Given the prestige of science in our culture, and the diffidence of many religious leaders and teachers in thinking independently about what they’ve been told “Scientists Say,” that means a lot of Americans are on a track like the one the young woman John West wrote about this morning was on.  In a powerful statement, she said that she had her heart broken as a college student — not by a boy, but by her own professors. They told her she had to choose between science and faith. She could not have both. Providentially, she ended up on the video crew assigned to record the 2019 Dallas Conference…
