Models for Christian Higher Education
This is a print on demand book and is therefore non- returnable. This timely look at the state of Christian higher education in America contains descriptive, historical narratives that explore how fourteen Christian colleges and universities are successfully integrating faith and learning on their campuses despite the challenges posed by the increasingly pluralistic nature of modern culture. Written by respected representatives from seven major faith traditions -- Roman Catholic, Lutheran, Reformed, Mennonite, Evangelical, Wesleyan/Holiness, and Baptist/Restorationist -- these narratives are also preceded by introductory essays that define the worldview and theological heritage of each given tradition and ask what that tradition can contribute to the task of higher education.
Phi Beta Kappa in American Life
"Current makes clear in this well-told and fascinating study...that nothing could be more relevant and necessary for the continued health of higher education than Phi Beta Kappa's presence"--Kirkus Reviews. Originally a secret club at William and Mary, Phi Beta Kappa has grown into the foremost honor society in America. In this engaging and informative book, noted historian Richard Nelson Current recounts the society's past, providing new insight into the turbulent history of American society and education.
Quality with Soul
This book demonstrates that, despite much evidence to the contrary, there are still Christian colleges and universities of high academic quality that have also kept their religious heritages publicly relevant. Respected scholar Robert Benne explores how six schools from six different religious traditions (Calvin College, Wheaton College, St. Olaf College, Valparaiso University, Baylor University, and the University of Notre Dame) have maintained "quality with soul." These constructive case studies examine the vision, ethos, and personnel policies of each school, showing how--and why--its religious foundation remains strong.
The Cultivated Life
