* From Paul Gould's The Outrageous Idea of the Missional Professor...
"Finally, while experts within their own particular fields of study, Christian professors often possess a Sunday school level of education when it comes to matters theological and philosophical. A missional professor, however, must be competent, even well-versed, in such matters. Sadly, this is rarely the case, and the result is a patchwork attempt to integrate one's faith with one's scholarly work and an inability to fit the pieces of one's life into God's larger story. Christian professors who are seeking to be faithful witnesses for Christ within the secular academy face immense challenges." (p. 7)
