One effect of global, high tech communication on this shrinking planet is the increased exposure we have to other lands, peoples, and worldviews. Today students on major university campuses will likely encounter professors who teach their subjects from vastly different perspectives. For example, a Hindu may be found teaching psychology; a Marxist, history; an existentialist, literature; and a humanist, science. Young people are now confronted with avirtual supermarket of worldviewoptions uponwhich to basetheir lives. As a result, many Christians-confused, defensive, and often in the minority-tend to incorporate much non- Christian thinking into their own worldviews.

This address on "The Scientific Preparation of the Minister" was delivered September 20, 1912, at the opening of theone hundred and first session of Princeton Theological Seminary. It is found in the Princeton Theological Review,Vol. XI, No. 1, 1913, p. 1.

The author of Genesis informs us that the Ark of Noah landed “in the mountains of Ararat”. While this is a general area, it refers to a real location. The key to pinpointing this geographic area is to ask where would the original readers of Genesis have understood it to have been. Geographical and historical studies lead us to conclude that the writer was referring to the mountainous region to the south of Lake Van and north of the historic kingdom of Assyria. It therefore cannot refer to the singular Mt Ararat in north-eastern Turkey as is commonly presumed.

Fascism is essentially a response to the alienation that has been a part of the spiritual landscape of the West since the Enlightenment.

Logic and rationalism, with their cold analyses and denial of basic human impulses, have seemed stifling, heightening the sense of alienation. If objective knowledge is alienating, subjective experience is liberating and healing. Authentic existence comes from unleashing the emotions, cultivating the subjective and irrational dimension of life. The attempts to resolve the dilemma of alienation, understandable as they are, would find concrete and political expression in fascism.[7]
