Is there bias against evangelicals in the academy?
Thomas Trevethan:
“The shape of Compromising Scholarship marks out the shape of Professor Yancey’s argument. He introduces the topic of his investigation, the shape of his book, the history of investigations about bias in the academy, and himself in the first two chapters. In this introduction his own social characteristics, location, and potential bias is canvassed. Yancey is an African-American, self-confessed evangelical Christian, a political independent, a son of the South from a home of lower socio-economic stature. And he notes how this identity affords both advantages and disadvantages as he undertakes this investigation. In the interests of similar candor your reviewer should also note that George Yancey is a good friend of InterVarsity Faculty Ministry and especially of the Emerging Scholars Network, as well as an author published by InterVarsity Press.”
