Hank’s Prologue:

  • Hank underscores another article in the CHRISTIAN RESEARCH JOURNAL titled “Anti-Intellectualism in the Church.” In the article, Professor Michael Austin asserts that anti-intellectualism is rampant in the church today. We have celebrity pastors that are long on rhetoric, but short on substance. Technique often trumps theology. And those in the pews have become addicted to consumer Christianity and the pursuit of pleasure, but are starved for theological depth. Despite this trend, we must train ourselves to engage in deep thought. As the apostle Paul tells us in Romans chapter 12 not to be conformed to the pattern of this world, but to be transformed by the renewing of our minds.
