“This is a rare and timely treatise. Rare because it takes an important but sometimes perplexing topic, and renders it both accessible and moving. In that sense, it turns an obligation into a privilege. But for the Christian learner it is also an invitation to faithfulness. To grow in wisdom because there is no responsible alternative. Learning for Wisdom is a gift.”
—Stan D. Gaede, President, Christian College Consortium
“Learning for Wisdom should be required reading not only for every student who attends Christian college or university, but also for their parents. Indeed, I would hope that faculty at those colleges and universities as well as pastors and high school teachers whose members go to Christian colleges and universities would read this book about Christian education and the good life. Taylor writes clearly and profoundly about the nature and strengths of a Christian education.”
—Tremper Longman III, Robert H. Gundry Professor of Biblical Studies, Westmont College
“James Taylor clearly and cogently develops the cultivation of theoretical, practical, and productive wisdom in the quest for truth, goodness and beauty. This multi-faceted approach to wisdom underscores the biblical dynamic of loving, learning, and living well and the formation of virtue in all arenas of life. This well-crafted book invites us to treasure the interior life in such a way that being animates doing.”
—Ken Boa, Author, Speaker, and President of Reflections Ministries, Atlanta, GA
“James Taylor captures the essential goal of Christian general education to balance learning for doing and for becoming. He systematically develops the interaction of Athens and Jerusalem, exhorting faculty and students to both master academic disciplines and be mastered by the Holy Spirit. Faculty who want to reflect deeply on their integrative task should consider this as their guidebook.”
—V. James Mannoia, Jr., President Emeritus, Greenville College
