Book Synopsis

In this book, the authors first identify the educational slogans that often mark Christian higher education-All truth is God's truth, Integration of Faith and Learning, Holistic Education, and The Personal Touch, for example. The authors then contrast these supposed distinctives with tacit assumptions prevalent in traditional models of Christian higher education.
