Audio: Faith & Academic Commitments in a Post-Modern World

Faith & Academic Commitments in a Post-Modern World

A Faculty & Graduate Student Symposium of InterVarsity’s Faculty Ministry
April 19, 2008
U Wisconsin-Madison

How can theology engage academic disciplines like philosophy, natural science or the humanities in the contemporary university? At the 2008 Wisconsin Symposium, Dr. Alan Padgett presented several models of engagement, using issues in postmodern philosophy as an example, and described ways these issues interface with the Christian faith, both in theological and in personal expression.
