Christian Scholarship Beyond the Theological Guild Fulcrum:

"Insofar as mentoring in this kind of Christian scholarship takes place in the UK it is ad hoc and episodic. As far as I can tell it is offered from one of four sources:

• by a rather small group of individual Christian scholars in non-theological disciplines who have intentionally equipped themselves for the task;

• by a handful of faith-oriented research institutes in secular universities;

• by individuals or programmes within the Cathedrals Group of 16 church-related universities and university colleges;

• by postgraduate or faculty ministry programmes operating outside or on the fringes of the university (e.g.: Oxford’s ‘Developing a Christian Mind’, ‘Transforming the Mind’, ‘Faith in Scholarship’, or Christian Academic Network)."
