Chapter 5 explores what it means to be “the light of the world” (Matthew 5:14–16) as educated Christ followers who engage in various academic disciplines. Jesus calls those who follow him to seek and to find their purpose in him as they explore the vast riches of the world he has made. Faith, properly understood, should not stifle research, suppress dialogue, or inhibit investigation. Rather, Christians believe in order to understand more fully, and by doing so, they expect to see the power of God at work in the lives of individuals and in the restoration of communities. By connecting faith and learning in these ways, they participate in the rich Christian tradition that has been described as a matter of faith seeking understanding.
