Abstract
Steve VanderVeen is hungering for that which is laudable. He wants students to live out (experience) their faith in a holistic manner. He desires what is called "biblical belief" where one's intellectual assent is inextricably coupled with one's actions. Biblically, "to believe" has always incorporated this full understanding. Those who divide intellectual assent from actions are called hypocrites in the Scripture. He also has serious doubts about whether merely talking, discussing, and thinking about biblical perspectives on spedific issues will bring about real godly results when the time arrives for specific actions to be taken in the marketplace. I too share these concerns.
