Discussion Question #2
Thank you to everyone who commented on the first discussion question! This second discussion question comes from essay by Paul Alan Cox, Journey to City Creek: Adding Scholarship to Discipleship. We look forward to reading your thoughts and insights.
Dr. Cox talks about the word scholar being used in a general context- referring to anyone who seeks learning (p. 19). How does disciple-scholarship apply to learning that happens outside the classroom? In what ways will you prepare yourself for "lifelong learning," (see the "Aims of a BYU Education") while you are at BYU?

First Summer Reading discussion question
We will be posting discussion questions throughout the rest of the summer for you to respond to. Feel free to comment on each question, and also on others' responses. This first question is in reference to the first essay in the book- The Disciple Scholar, by Elder Neal A. Maxwell.
Elder Maxwell tells us it is “no wonder [that] a true community of scholars would qualify to be part of a larger community of Saints” (p. 6). What important qualities do saints and scholars share? How will you cultivate these qualities and begin to become a disciple-scholar during your first year at BYU?
