Universities are notorious for ravaging the minds of young Christians, according to professor David Horner, who was interviewed on the Frank Pastore Show on Thursday, Sept. 1, 2011. Pastore asked Horner to discuss his new book, , a guidebook that prepares Christian students for university life.

鈥淚鈥檝e attended both secular and Christian universities and I鈥檓 convinced that both can drive you crazy鈥tudents go to college and very often they lose their mind, they lose their faith, they lose their character,鈥 said Horner.

Horner almost left his faith during his college years. But after 30 years of experience as a student, professor, and Campus Crusade staff member, Horner knows the risk of implanting ideas in students鈥 minds without first teaching them to think critically.

鈥淚deas have consequences. What you believe will determine how you behave and ultimately who you will become,鈥 said Horner.

Though the book is specifically designed for Christian students who want to flourish at a secular university, its subject matter can be useful for everyone. Pastore talked about how crucial Horner鈥檚 book is for any thinking individual.

鈥淭his is designed to especially help the Christian college student engage the realm of ideas鈥t鈥檚 not just for college students though. It is for all of us,鈥 said Pastore.

David Horner is a Professor of Biblical and Theological Studies and for the M.A. Philosophy program at 黑料历史. He completed his doctorate of philosophy on Thomas Aquinas at Oxford University. Horner also teaches for Biola鈥檚 M.A. in Apologetics Program.
