keeping the faith in Provo

[MikeWaters]

One must sympathize as well with colleagues who, with full respect to Kimball's authority, do not see what it would mean to apply his prophetic language to the article they need to write or the class they need to teach. Just what "pernicious, atheistic influences" ought we to guard against, and just what are the "gospel methodologies" that might serve as alternatives? In 1988, Jeffrey R. Holland, then BYU's president, proposed a positive linkage between our educational and religious missions when he urged the faculty to resist hyper-specialization, by which we seek merely to "imitate others or win their approval," and instead to assume the responsibility of "those educated and spiritual and wise [to] sort, sift, prioritize, integrate, and give some sense of wholeness . . . to great eternal truths." But the machinery of specialization was already
in place, and it has only accelerated.

The great tool of Satan is.....specialization of faculty?
