Father of five, husband of 18 years, active church member, experienced musician, active hobbyist, Mr. Hinrichs life experience informs and shapes the perspective brought to academic discussion.


Academic Rigor

Future career prospects are a lack-luster motivation for a vigorous pursuit of academics. Being in possession of minds given by God, we are held accountable to Him for how faithfully we put them to use. If an adult still crawled on all fours because he never had an interest in walking, we would rebuke him as an odd creature who should not only learn to walk, but jump, run and even dance a jig. Similarly with the mind, one who does not diligently work on refining it neglects the mature development of our God given gifts. Having a mind implies that we are expected to steward it lovingly through the strengthening and expanding of its capacities.

 

 

Serious Christianity

Though we speak of the Christian faith, it is a faith that is strengthened rather than weakened by the examination of reason. When faith is separated from reason, it dissolves into a personal sentiment that applies to little but our own narrow experience. Christianity makes claims to truth- what is true in history, what is true regarding human nature, what is the true pattern of human behavior. By being willing to enter into public discussion with others, our beliefs are brought under an examination that strengthens rather than degrades the integrity of our faith.
