Comments on: In Support of Tom Oord and Academic Freedom https://www.tyndalephilosophy.com/2015/04/21/in-support-of-tom-oord-and-academic-freedom/ Official Blog of the Tyndale UC Philosophy Department Tue, 05 Jan 2016 10:43:57 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.com/ By: Armen Svadjian https://www.tyndalephilosophy.com/2015/04/21/in-support-of-tom-oord-and-academic-freedom/comment-page-1/#comment-131 Mon, 27 Apr 2015 16:51:37 +0000 https://www.tyndalephilosophy.com/?p=2326#comment-131 Sounds similar to the Bruce Waltke/RTS thing from a few years back, and even Peter Enns /WTS from the same time: https://www.christianitytoday.com/gleanings/2010/april/ot-scholar-bruce-waltke-resigns-following-evolution.html

What are the boundaries of academic freedom? If a faculty member can no longer stand behind an institution’s statement of faith or confession, what then? How “free” is the principle of academic freedom? At what point does an “unpopular” view become unacceptable? More strictly confessional schools (RTS, WTS, possibly NNU?) will have narrower boundary markers than an intentionally big tent institution like Tyndale.

We are so grateful for brothers and sisters like you through this time.

I might also mention that an endowed scholarship is being set up in Tom Oord’s name. The link is here https://bit.ly/Oord-Scholarship .

Thanks again, friends, for standing with us.
