(5:45 PM) | Adam Kotsko:

New Essay

This essay is, in part, a follow-up to a previous post entitled Adam Kotsko: Enemy of Truth. Although my position at that point was halfway between frustration and bemusement, I now realize that the situation is somewhat more serious. In response to some information I have received about motivations behind the recent gutting of Olivet's religion department and about some future plans to carry through the program of that gutting, I have written a new essay entitled Education with a Christian Purpose: A Polemic. For those of you who are not acquainted with Olivet Nazarene University, "Education with a Christian Purpose" is one of its main slogans, but my essay is not satirical, nor is it solely or even mainly concerned with the situation at Olivet. Rather, it represents the crystalization of certain trains of thought that I have been dealing with for the last several years.

I would appreciate it if my readers would pass it along to other potential sympathetic readers. I believe it to be one of the best things I have ever written on my web page, and I naturally want it to have as wide and various a readership as possible.
