The Cultural Value of Christian Higher Education

By Jim on Sun, 08/28/16
Fundamentalism & Evangelicalism
Christian Colleges and Seminaries
Some Christian institutions adopt an adversarial posture toward the mainstream culture, a “Benedict Option” of circling the wagons, because things seem to be going against them. From my vantage point, it’s the complete opposite [for Christian colleges]. You guys are the avant-garde of 21st century culture. You have what everybody else is desperate to have: a way of talking about and educating the human person in a way that integrates faith, emotion and intellect.

….but who is the NYT hiring? Hopefully this is a real start that will benefit both the Times and good Christian colleges.

Aspiring to be a stick in the mud.
