Integration of faith and education- is it possible? Our cuture holds to a two-tier theory of truth (see Nancy Pearcey, Total Truth) in which the facts of science or economics are divorced from the opinions expressed in values, morality, and religion. This has pushed faith out of the public square and relegated it to personal subjectivity.
Integration will demand that knowledge of immaterial things (values, morals, religious precepts, numbers) be accepted on a par with scientific knowledge. What will be a reliable standard for acceptance of moral and religious ideas? Rebuilding a Christian worldview will be necessary to effective integration.
