Critical Transparent Scholarship

Critical and transparent scholarship posits that anything, whether it be ideology, institutions, states, or religions, is open to critique. A critical evaluation of Christianity or Judaism does not necessarily make one anti-Christianity or anti-Judaism. Similarly, any religion or human construct is open to criticism. Critical and transparent scholars must acknowledge their limitations and be open to new ideas or criticisms. If they are not, they are essentially "imperial" scholars in a different form.
