Overview

In 1980, Dr. Charles Malik gave a memorable and poignant addressat the dedication of the Billy Graham Center on the campus ofWheaton College. He presented a challenge in two tasks: save thesoul and save the mind. Malik believed that in order to evangelizethe academic world, evangelism must learn to speak at an academiclevel. He called people to raise their level of thinking andsharpen their minds to this end.

In this book several contributors seek to apply this message toour current context. It is a call to academics especially tointegrate Christian faith with their disciplines and to beintellectual in their faith for the purpose of communicating at thelevel of their peers and students.
