What does it mean to be a person of faith when it comes to scholarship and teaching in the humanities? Like all followers of Jesus, Christian scholars in disciplines such as literature, philosophy, history, classical studies, and languages are called love God with their minds. But just how do Christians in the humanities engage in the scholarly life in a way that distinguishes us from our colleagues? For example, what does excellence mean for Christians as scholars, as teachers, and as colleagues? What about such seemingly prosaic matters as working with or as a mentor, investing in church life, and nurturing family relationships? To get at such questions, the Humanities track will consider biblical and theological foundations for the academic vocation in humanities disciplines and for successfully integrating faith, learning, teaching, and our lives beyond campus.

Delegates will be challenged through theoretical and practical issues to make our faith a part of our scholarly work, to think faithfully about our own and cognate disciplines, and to consider approaches to teaching from Christian perspectives. Through presentations and conversations we hope to learn from each other and in so doing appreciate more profoundly the glory of God.
