Christian college, Christian calling : higher education in the service of the church
"Christian colleges have been set up by churches throughout American history. But all too often, the schools conflict with the groups that support them, typically over what is being taught in religion and philosophy classes. Christian College, Christian Calling seeks not to resolve this tension between congregation and academy but to explain why it exists and why it might even be fruitful. Instructors of philosophy, theology, church history, biblical studies, and ministry from Azusa Pacific University explain the value of their disciplines in terms of Christian life rather than academic achievement. Attempting to get past the stereotypes of liberal, faith-diluting colleges and conservative, unthinking churches, Christian College, Christian Calling provides an invaluable resource for anyone concerned about the mission and relevance of Christian higher education."--BOOK JACKET
