		This, of course, was not so when the first "free university" in Brussels was founded in 1835, at a time when Christian institutions considered it their job to contest new approaches in the fields of geology and biology, to cite but two.
		Free inquiry therefore distinguishes itself from religions or ideologies in which absolute truth is claimed.
		The free inquirer should form an opinion and express it, and, ideally, be as critical of his or her own opinion as of others.

	Free Will
		Free will is not a necessary fiction, and making known the naturalistic truth about ourselves is a far better basis for human flourishing.
		If we don’t have free will, and the individual is not seen as ultimately morally responsible for his or her actions, how do we carry on moral discourse and justify moral judgments.
		This focuses on free will, responsibility and punishment from a naturalistic perspective, using the example of Susan Smith, who was found guilty of drowning her two children in a South Carolina lake.

	Albom probe shows no pattern of deception
		However, the inquiry found that Albom at times has used quotes from newspapers, TV programs or other publications without indicating that he did not gather the material himself, in violation of Free Press rules on crediting sources.

		Rather, he or she is free to range widely in the understanding and interpretation of the discipline.
		So the "open Christian" university is able to welcome into its community of inquiry an invigorating pluralism -- both on the faculty and in the student body, men and women of varying religious commitments, Christian and non-Christian -- without compromise to the integrity of its educational (that is to say, anthropological) mission.
		Because evangelicals have traditionally placed -- doctrinal, if not dogmatic, tests on scholarly membership in their communities of inquiry, and because of their consequent reluctance to hear the truth wherever and by whomever it is spoken, they may be unable to offer that inclusiveness without which university inquiry becomes mere parochial indoctrination.
