I am a fan of J. Budziszewski (I love copy-and-paste). It's pronounced BOO-jee-CHEF-ski. He's probably the foremost expert on responding to the post-Christian mindset. He's the author of How to Stay Christian in College
. It seems I'm constantly impressed with his reasoning abilities.
He writes often about the classes he teaches as "post-Everything university" and frequents a curious little eatery just off-campus called "the Edge of Night." And he's a missionary. Just because he's paid to teach doesn't mean he's not fulfilling the Great Commission. He's fulfilling a critical need helping students actually make sense of their world and doing so from a Judeo-Christian worldview. It's an oasis of truth, something that's hard to find out there.
It's kind of funny, but I've always wondered if the deconstructionists were actually right, why would we yearn for things to make sense? We crave order. If we do, shouldn't we be able to discern order? Why would we have the desire for something that doesn't exist? Eh, anyway...
He came out with another winner recently. It's a two-parter and we're waiting on the second half, but it's still a good read, especially if you like philosophy and reasoning. It's part of his regular column, called Office Hours.
