Robert P. George, editor of The Meaning of Marriage, gives advice to Christians in academia:
Dedicate yourself to the truth. Pursue the truth in all fields. Understand that all truth is God’s truth. Be open to truth. Be open to argument. Engage joyfully with your fellow students and professors who don’t share your point of view. You may have things to learn from them, and perhaps they have things to learn from you. So push forward without fear of prejudice (though you may indeed encounter it), confident that in pursuing the truth you are in the end trying to bring yourself into greater harmony with Jesus who is the way, the truth, and the life.
