An excellent evaluation of what a Christian higher education should be. My only regret is that I did not find and read this book when I was younger.
Sound analysis and advice; succint and effective style

This book is well written and brief. (It's amazing how often those two go together!) The contents are as follows:_____________________________ Preface 1. Why a Christian College? 2. Theological Foundations 3. The Liberal Arts: What and Why? 4. Liberal Arts as Career Preparation 5. Integrating Faith and Learning 6. Academic Freedom 7. College as Community 8. Experience is not Enough 9. The Marks of an Educated Person Suggestions for further reading_____________________________The chapter on integrating faith and learning was especially good, as was the chapter on academic freedom. Refreshingly lucid thinking and writing: no stale ideas to be found.
