Wallace, Richard C. “Engaging Business Practitioners to Develop Students’ Faith and Talents.” Christian Business Academy Review 5, no. 1 (2010): 23-30.

Abstract: Bringing business practitioners into our classrooms provides unique opportunities to develop our student’s faith and talents. We discuss the benefits of guest experts in terms of informing and inspiring our students as well as broadening our networks for internships, jobs, and philanthropy. We confront two challenges: 1) persuading the experts to come to offer advice, and 2) convincing the students to take it. We offer ten suggestions to maximize the benefits of engaging business experts in our classes.

Wallace, Richard Cheever. “Faith in the Halls of Power: How Evangelicals Joined the American Elite.” Christian Scholar’s Review 37, no. 4 (Summer, 2008): 515-518.

Abstract: Evangelicals (including elite ones), as well as scholars and students of sociology, political science, communication, and business will likely find this book stimulating both in the facts it presents and the interpretations it offers. Along with the famous names are less well-known but organizationally prominent individuals including U.S. Senators, cabinet officials, entrepreneurs, executives, and major scientists. “Studio executives relied on this office and its Catholic counterpart to ensure that the film industry produced movies that would be well received” (118).\n Cosmopolitan evangelicals often see the “cheesy” subculture itself as a problem in promoting the evangelical cause.

Wallace, Richard Cheever. “Exploring Norms and Moral Authority through Content Analysis of Classic Texts.” Teaching Sociology 21, no. 1 (January 1993): 90-94.

Abstract: This article presents an assignment which can help solve some problems related to teaching. These problems include :how one can teach students to grasp clearly the concepts of norms and sanctions in relation to the more nebulous notions of values and morality; how one can give students practice in the often challenging area of content analysis; how one can bring classical writings from various cultures into sociological curriculum; how one can deal with the realm of ethics in classes without straying toward a parochial ethnocentrism or an “anything goes” cultural relativism.
