'There is yet another dilemma. At some Christian colleges, we accept as part of our academic work the task of integrating our faith with our understanding. Integration suggests bringing things together; discovering how a set of systems can correspond. We search for consistency between what we "know" regarding our disciplines and what we "know" regarding our faith. Yet, for both Calvin and don Juan, integration is an erroneous task as it employs reason as its basic tool. For both men, reason deludes, because it only works within one of two aspects of reality. If the rules for knowing truly change across the boundary of these two realities, then the most we can hope for is a description of the parameters of two separate systems, not an integration of faith and learning. How will we then bill our academic task as a Christian college in a competitive market?'
