William James remarked . . . 'When we see all things in God and refer all things to Him, we read in common matters superior expressions of meaning . . .' Here is the essence of the relationship of Christian insight to the data of liberal education. In every concrete fact and temporal event there is potential meaning that beggars the imagination. A liberal education does...
