Biola has published an analysis and response to the NY Times Magazine piece of a few months ago that highlighted Biola. My brother wrote then that the Times write-up was an "accurate reflection of the tension between faith and secularism in the evangelical college experience." The Biola response mostly agrees with this analysis. Peters writes, "As it turned out, many Biolans were pleasantly surprised by the article. Shapiro’s treatment — though secularly biased — was thoughtful, her tone friendly. The thrust of the article is the tensions that exist at a school that, on one hand, is firmly committed to the tenets of evangelical Christianity and, on the other, is seeking to engage the larger world with those beliefs."

Mere Orthodoxy is (for me) a counterpoint to social media, a place of depth and critical thought.
