| Summary: | Scholars at Christian institutions have inherited from the broader academy an archival definition of knowledge that tends to obscure relationships between academic scholarship and broader human enterprises. This essay builds upon and extends the work of Ernest Boyer and others who have advocated for a stronger link between scholarship and human communities. It argues that scholarship should not itself be thought of as knowledge, but rather as a potential catalyst for the formation of knowledge in a community network. A more thoroughly communitarian metaphor for knowledge can help clarify the tasks of faith integration and community engagement on the part of Christian scholars. |
