Transformational vs. Transactional: The Christian Approach to Higher Education

Refining Rhetoric with Robert Bortins

What happens when a reluctant baseball player takes a bioethics class that changes his entire perspective on learning and life? Robert explores the intersection of philosophy, theology, and practical ethics with Dr. Bill Davis, professor at Covenant College and Reform Theological Seminary, and Noah Sweatman, Covenant College admissions counselor and Classical Conversations graduate. The conversation delves into how philosophy enriches theological understanding, with Dr. Davis explaining how Scripture writers used classical thought while correcting erroneous assumptions. Noah shares his surprising journey from being a reluctant bioethics student to finding it one of his most influential college classes, despite having no background in the field.
