A Few Words from Readers "I just wanted to congratulate you on the Winter 1993 issue of Faculty Dialogue. In my opinion, it may be the finest yet-certainly the best I remember in a long time. I have read it cover-to-cover. Your work and this publication continue to be valued services to the academic community. We are all grateful for it. I trust others take time to express their appreciation." Keith A. Pagan Department of Music Point Loma Nazarene College San Diego, California "When I was 'away' from Christian higher education for several years, I came to appreciate even more than I had before the value of conversations with like-minded and like-valued colleagues-in person and in journals such as Faculty Dialogue. Reflecting on the theoretical and particular aspects of our task is crucial for carrying out our vocation as Christians who aim to be 'professors' in all the senses of that term. Faculty Dialogue allows us to carry out that reflection on our own campuses and beyond." Joyce Quirling Erickson School of Humanities Seattle Pacific University Seattle, Washington "As a forum to encourage discussion and reaction among church-related colleges and universities, Faculty Dialogue fulfills an indispensable role in Christian higher education. As a regular reader, and contributing writer, I am continually impressed by Faculty Dialogue's forthright commitment to provide a helpful and thought-provoking forum for intellectual discourse. Each issue of the journal reflects this commitment as a variety of Christian scholars, striking in their religious, political, social, and intellectual diversity, address the crucial concerns of higher education. This commitment is particularly refreshing in a time where many secular and Christian journals simply serve as thinly veiled facades for their editors' respective agendas."
