The book starts with and centers on Charles Malik's 1980 speech at Wheaton College, "The Two Tasks." These tasks are to redeem the mind and redeem the soul. Malik challenges Christians to be scholars and scholars to be Christians. The book gives several examples of problems that Christians have faced in a culture that is, at times, very antagonistic to their beliefs.
