Professor of Political Science Julia Stronks is the author of several books on faith, citizenship and law, and is a sought-after speaker for academic, K-12 and church audiences. Widespread interest in her most recent book, Living in the Fabric of Faithfulness, led to invitations for Stronks to deliver a keynote address at a recent conference commemorating the 500th anniversary of John Calvin's birth, and to give an address on faith and law at the National Faith, Justice & Civic Learning Conference, in Chicago. Stronks recently was appointed to Whitworth's Lindaman Chair, a rotating position for senior faculty who are engaged in significant academic initiatives and who contribute to public dialogue concerning important social issues.
"My vision for the Lindaman Chair is to engage in a speaking and writing agenda that brings together the rich history of the Reformed tradition and Christian voices of other traditions, emphasizing what we have in common and what we can learn from each other," Stronks says. "I want to introduce a younger generation of students and scholars to the teachings of my own tradition of neo-Calvinism, but I also want to challenge neo-Calvinists to consider that others, too, can bring God's truth to bear on the hard questions the world faces." |
