Riassunto

This book provides new insights on the unique role of doctoral students and new faculty as they join other stewards of the academy working within Christian higher education. Weaving together a variety of voices—graduate students, pastors, and seasoned scholars—the book examines the Christian university’s relationship to the Church and how faith and stewardshipcan guide the pursuit of teaching and scholarship.

Recensione

“What difference would it make if Christian universities envisioned their vocation as one of stewardship rather than of status and prestige? In this compelling work, the authors argue that Christian universities will enjoy a sense of purpose when they become communities in which everyone uses their gifts to express praise to God and to help transform the world in the justice, peace, and goodness of God. It is precisely this insight that makes this book both important and eminently hopeful.” (Paul J. Wadell, Professor of Theology and Religious Studies, St. Norbert College, USA)

“This volume exhibits the rare combination of classical theories and texts examined in the context of current educational research and topics. The contributors are leading scholars devoted to sustaining and strengthening the liberal arts in undergraduate and post-graduate Christian higher education. Scales and Howell have given the scholarly community―both Christian and secular―a beautiful and useful gift.” (Roger Ward, Professor of Philosophy, Georgetown College, USA)
