Target Audience

Letters to Young Scholars is designed primarily for college students, advanced high school students, and church and parachurch study groups on spiritual development.

Purpose and Content

As a college text, the book introduces beginning students to the general education (or liberal arts) portion of a Christian college education. It gives major emphasis to the humanities and social science disciplines, the integration of the Christian faith with those disciplines, and the application of Christian thought to daily living (applied Christianity).

Goals

It seeks to challenge the students to become broader in perspective and appreciation, more compassionate toward all of God's creatures, and more confident and committed as they develop their worldviews and personal values.
