Jesus was a carpenter to the glory of God, but think of fields like Medicine, Bioethics, Pharmaceuticals (especially in the way of mental health.)

On that note: Psychology/Psychiatry...If there is a such thing as a “soul” — then secular psychiatry can be rather simplistic.

Law. On what reality or truths do we base concepts of right and wrong?

The study of History.

- If Jesus was a real person who truly died, truly rose, and truly will come again — then all history truly is divided into B.C. and A.D. and our entire understanding of the world from Creation forward should be shaped in light that reality.

One God who created all peoples, rules over all nations, and personally entered the human story 2,000 years ago.

Most classics of Western Literature are impossible to grasp without Biblical literacy. As are most works of Western art throughout history.

On that note: the Arts. What does it mean to be a Christian storyteller. How can a Christian make good films that even a non-believer will find compelling and moving?

Science, Geology, Astronomy, Biology, Paleontology — is Darwinism and Evolution a safe basis from which to base these fields?

Those and other modern disciplines are organized on secular lines because competing Christian sects and ancillary faiths prevent agreement on a theological framework. Indeed, assuming that only material causes exist or need be considered simplifies the organization of modern life. Yet people rebel at the sterility of life purged of its spiritual dimension, and so Christianity and other faiths persist. Literature of course often addresses this point.
