The second issue of The New Pantagruel was recently published on the web at www.newpantagruel.com, including Weddings and Wrong Choices by Ragan Sutterfield, Baylor 2012: Universal Vision in a Particular Place by Andy Black, and many other fine pieces including interviews, art, review essays, poetry and fiction. Happy reading!
No, but it is a catholic publication. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/BigThumbUp.gif" alt="" /> Actually, I'm not sure what you mean. What would make it a Catholic publication for you? Are you referring to content of the publication, the faith of editorial board, contributing editors, authors, the background of the readership, etc.?
I think she meant Roman Catholic. She may have been asking if it was published and/or contributed to by the Roman Catholic church or by Roman Catholics.
. . . some of whom appear to be Roman Catholic (I don't know, I've never asked). The content contributors come from a fair variety of Christian backgrounds and experiences. The publication is not institutionally funded.
Issue 1.3 of <a href="www.newpantagruel.com" target="_blank">The New Pantagruel</a> was published this week. I would particularly value your impressions of Jack Heller's article Christian College Professor Flunks Christian Worldview Tests. At least go take the tests. Who knows, you may be a Socialist and not even know it. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
I don't get the question on the national testing for high-schoolers. Where would I find a Scriptural principle for that?
True godliness is a sincere feeling which loves God as Father as much as it fears and reverences Him as Lord, embraces His righteousness, and dreads offending Him worse than death~ Calvin
I don't get the question on the national testing for high-schoolers. Where would I find a Scriptural principle for that?
I tended to disagree on that question. I figured if ONLY accredited teachers can teach that this might limit homeschoolers. I also am not sure I want the federal gov't setting the standards.
I got a 91%. I looked at the breakdowns and in every age group the majority scored a Strong Biblical Worldview. In my opinion, the questions were so black and white that it would be hard to take it and not score a Strong Biblical Worldview. Also, the global responses would be skewed depending upon the who is taking the test, so if this link is passed around Christian websites and John Q. Public doesn't know it exists, then it is not a good measure of global worldviews.
It would be interesting to take a test that was more subtle and personal because I think that most of us know the "right" answers, but in a "moral dilemna" may act in ways contrary to what we think are our deeply held beliefs. That's where the rubber meets the road and where we will discern what our true world view is!
Haven't taken the other one yet.

Ok, now I've taken the other test and have read the article. Like the author of the article, I object to the idea of using the testing to determine high school and college students' biblical world view or spiritual condition. I took the test(s) for fun, just like I would take a test, "what kind of dog are you" (have done it, scored a spitz) but until I read the article I didn't realize that these tests were being used in a serious manner. I don't like it.
