Summarize the spirit of research presented in chapter 14 and explain ways in which you think Christians can and should embrace this spirit and then discuss cautions that Christians should also consider.
The spirit of research is that we make a claim, based on evidence available to everyone, and hope that our readers/listeners take it at face value. Then our readers/listeners test our claims.
Christians embrace this spirit when we hear sermons at church, read commentaries, etc. We hear someone’s claim, and then test it with what we know to be true. We also use the spirit of research when we share the Gospel with others. Christians need be be aware that not all sermons, commentaries, etc. are sound. We need to be prepared to test claims agains God’s Word (evidence), and not accept claims solely based on beliefs. Christians need to also be prepared to give an answer when asked questions about what they believe. Asking questions is part of the spirit of research. Christians should be able to answer questions like, “Why do you believe that?”, and not get frustrated when that question is asked. Rather, they should welcome those questions, and calmly discuss the answers.
