Abstract

Interdisciplinary studies is presently dominated by addressing socio-cultural questions and problems in the hope that the results of its research wilI generate a better world. As a collective group of experts addresses these issues, the specialists will perform investigative research that wilI prescribe a hopeful resolution to enhance the quality of existence. The Biblical text reveals, however, that humans have a fallen nature and that the creation has an eschatological end. In this context, the Christian interdisciplinarian has the burdensome challenge to bring temporal relief for those socio-cultural problems within the telos of Biblical revelation. The Christian's method towards interdisciplinary resolution needs to be assisted by critical thinking in a number of areas: the relationship between interdisciplinarity and interdisciplinary, the relevance of tiie classic nature-grace dualism, the hemeneutical method employed in interpreting data, and the boundaries of eclectic tolerance to advance the interdisciplinary goal.
