Well, the purpose of scholarship is the pursuit of truth. Contemporary scholarship is the pursuit of truth with access to everyone's thoughts before us.
What role should that play? It should make us (scholars AND non-scholars) passionate about truth. And since truth is rooted in love, it should makes us passionate about loving God and loving people.
Perhaps a trite observation, but by no means an easy lifestyle - especially when we're so busy studying.
