On Becoming a Disciple Scholar Book

These lectures were presented to students in the Brigham Young University Honors Program during 1994 and 1995 in the Coray Lecture Hall of the historic Karl G. Maeser Building, the oldest building on the Brigham Young University campus. An additional lecture presented at the annual Honors Program banquet is also included. The primary goal of the BYU Honors Program is to model the compatibility of rigorous scholarship with deep devotion to the faith, including institutional aspects of the faith. The lecturers in the Discipline and Discipleship lecture series were invited to explore the relationship between secular studies in the various academic disciplines and the personal development of religious commitment requisite to true discipleship. What emerged from the lectures was a portrait of the disciple-scholar, students or scholars who seek to prepare to serve God through their studies. These lectures will prove useful to Latter-day Saint students wherever they may be, as well as to students of other faiths who seek to enrich their secular studies through their religious commitment.
