Synopsis Conceiving the Christian College by : Duane Litfin
This book is designed to help those who are interested in Christian higher education explore anew the unique features, opportunities, and contemporary challenges of one distinct type of educational institution -- the Christian college. What distinguishes Conceiving the Christian College from the many other books on this subject is its incisive discussion of a set of crucial ideas widely misunderstood in the world of Christian higher education. Now serving in his eleventh year as president of one of the nation's foremost Christian colleges, Duane Litfin is well placed to ask pressing questions regarding faith-based education. What is unique about Christian colleges? What is required to sustain them? How do they maintain their bearing in the tumultuous intellectual seas of the twenty-first century? Litfin's themes are large, but they are meant to refocus the conceptual challenges to Christian education in ways that will strengthen both the academic environment of today's Christian colleges and their impact on culture at large.

Synopsis The Idea of a Christian College by : Todd C. Ream
In 1975, Arthur F. Holmes published The Idea of a Christian College. At the time he could not have imagined his book would gather such a large following. This work's thoughtful yet accessible style made it a long-standing choice for reading lists on Christian college and university campuses across the country and around the world. Countless numbers of first-year students have read and discussed his book as part of their introduction to the Christian college experience. However, enough has changed since 1975 in both the Church and Academy to now merit a full-scale reexamination. In this book, Todd C. Ream and Perry L. Glanzer account for changes in how people view the Church and themselves as human agents, and propose a vision for the Christian college in light of the fact that so many Christian colleges now look and act more like research universities. Including topics such as the co-curricular, common worship, and diversity, Ream and Glanzer craft a vision that strives to see into the future by drawing on the riches of the past. First-year students as well as new faculty members and administrators will benefit from the insights in this book in ways previous generations benefitted from Arthur Holmes's efforts.

Synopsis Christian College, Christian Calling by : Steve Wilkens
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 fro 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.

Synopsis Conceiving Agency by : Michal S. Raucher
Conceiving Agency: Reproductive Authority among Haredi Women explores the ways Haredi Jewish women make decisions about their reproductive lives. Although they must contend with interference from doctors, rabbis, and the Israeli government, Haredi women find space for—and insist on—autonomy from them when they make decisions regarding the use of contraceptives, prenatal testing, fetal ultrasounds, and other reproductive practices. Drawing on their experiences of pregnancy, knowledge of cultural norms of reproduction, and theological beliefs, Raucher shows that Haredi women assert that they are in the best position to make decisions about reproduction. Conceiving Agency puts forward a new view of Haredi women acting in ways that challenge male authority and the structural hierarchies of their conservative religious tradition. Raucher asserts that Haredi women's reproductive agency is a demonstration of women's commitment to Haredi life and culture as well as an indication of how they define religious ethics.

Synopsis Learning to Love: Christian College as Pilgrimage by : Alex Sosler
"What is the Christian college for?" Whether you're about to begin your journey at a Christian college or you've already embarked, this is a vital question. And you have probably been given an answer a hundred times. "College is to get a good job or to learn a bunch of disconnected information or it's a social rite of passage-all within the nurturing confines of a Christian community." In Learning to Love, Alex Sosler deepens, widens, and magnifies a vision for higher education. Conceiving of the Christian college as more than job preparation or the acquisition of knowledge, Sosler inspires a greater hope for education-namely one oriented toward the love of God and neighbor. This expansive vision re-imagines an education worth pursuing. Learning to Love is perfect for students preparing for Christian higher education and those on the journey. While written with the student in mind, Sosler's consideration of the purpose of Christian higher education is also great for faculty, staff, and administrators.

Synopsis The Christian College and the Meaning of Academic Freedom by : William C. Ringenberg
The Christian College and the Meaning of Academic Freedom is a study of the past record and current practice of the Protestant colleges in America in the quest to achieve intellectual honesty within academic community. William C. Ringenberg lays out the history of academic freedom in higher education in America, including its European antecedents, from the perspective of modern Christian higher education. He discusses the Christian values that provide context for the idea of academic freedom and how they have been applied to the nation's Christian colleges and universities. The book also dissects a series of recent case studies on the major controversial intellectual issues within and in, in some cases, about the Christian college community. Ringenberg ably analyzes the ways in which these academic institutions have evolved over time, outlining their efforts to evolve and remain relevant while maintaining their core values and historic identities.

Synopsis The Idea of a Christian College by : Arthur Frank Holmes
More than ten years after its publication in 1975, The Idea of a Christian College has become, in the prophetic words of Nicholas Wolterstorff, "a classic, a standard." Widely used by students, lay readers, teachers, and administrators, it provides a concise case for the Christian college and defines its distinctive mission and contribution. This revised edition is Holmes' response to the many professors and students who have read the work enthusiastically and urged the author to clarify certain ideas and to address further aspects of the overall subject. The author has extensively revised several chapters, has eliminated one-gender language, and has included two new chapters: "Liberal Arts as Career Preparation" and "The Marks of an Educated Person."--Back cover.
