As a philosopher, I want to teach my students to think for
themselves. As a Christian, I want to model for my students a commitment to
Christ. If I had only the first goal, I would refrain from revealing my
convictions to them. If I had only the second objective, I would introduce them
to fewer criticisms of Christianity. But since I am a Christian philosopher, I
strive to encourage my students to combine honest evaluation of Christianity with
confident submission to Christ. In the future, I plan to be more sensitive to my
students’ intellectual, temperamental, and developmental differences.
