Intergration of Faith and Learning 1
I attend a Christian college that strives in every class to integrate faith and learning. Not only do the professors teaching the class strive to accomplish this, but they also encourage us to do so as well. I have enjoyed this aspect about my college.I have felt like in most of the classes I have taken over the past four years each professor has done well at reaching this goal
I have enjoyed being abel to take classes that have challenged my beliefs. Most of the Bible and Religion classes I have taken have not been biased. They have challenged me to look at other cultures and beliefs outside of my own and encouraged me to understand them. I feel like my college has done a very good job at making me define what I believe and why.
Has anyone else had this oppurtnity? Positive or negative experience?

Great question. I went to a secular college and Christian high school. The Christian school was ok, and overall the experience was positive. But I'm not sure if it was because of the smaller classes or because of the Christian content.
I'm interested by the fact that you subconsciously used the phrase "making me define what I believe and why."

I think I meant that they challenged my thinking when I was already comfortable with what I thought I knew. I really did not have a clue why I believed what I did, other than “because the Bible says”. My college encouraged me to stretch further than “because the Bible says”. So…I would say they did “make” me do something…but It was good they did.
