Challenges Facing Christian Higher Education at Century’s End
George Heider “sets the table” for the three essays which follow, reflecting on a variety of challenges- economic, structural, cultural, and theological- which form the context for Christian higher education in the late twentieth century. by George Heider
Christian Higher Education in Reformed Perspective
Much of the current discussion of issues relating to Christian higher education has been animated by scholars operating from within Reformed theology. Nicholas Wolterstorff, a Christian philosopher from Yale University, outlines the Reformed worldview and its implications for integrating faith and learning in higher education. by Nicholas Wolterstorff
A Catholic Perspective on Christian Higher Education
Monika Hellwig, executive director of the Association of Catholic Colleges and Universities, articulates five characteristic features which constitute a distinctively Catholic way of relating Christian faith to the purposes of Christian higher education and discusses the often problematic relationship between Catholic colleges and the hierarchic church. by Monika Hellwig
Forming Heart and Mind: Lutheran Thoughts about Higher Education
The foundational beliefs by which Lutherans have traditionally thought about higher education, including paradox, Luther’s two kingdoms, and “platitudes about freedom and mutual respect,” Gilbert Meilaender warns, “are more likely to accommodate the culture than to shape anything distinctively Lutheran.” He proposes an alternative understanding of how Lutheran colleges and universities might best pass on a Lutheran Christian way of life and guide students to “love God with both mind and heart.” by Gilbert Meilaender
