Many conservative Christian colleges
and universities fail to regard Christian theology as a source of knowledge. A
number of these institutions make the integration of faith and learning a
central curricular and pedagogical goal. But it is hard to see how theology
could be integrated with the sciences if theology doesn’t yield knowledge. I
assume the sort of integration desired by such institutions is theoretical, and that such theoretical
integration is possible only between disciplines that yield knowledge. If these
assumptions are correct, then these conservative Christian colleges and
universities are failing to satisfy one of their main educational objectives.
