Finally, a book that updates the conversation about the role of Christian post-secondary education for our contemporary context without regarding secularism as a dirty word. I welcome this nuanced, critical and serious consideration of the wounds and the gifts of the Christian church to institutions of education.

To say higher ed is in crisis borders now on cliche. But so far much of the answer to this crisis has been faddish and shallow, a redoubling on financial schemes and enrolment gambles. Christian higher ed has the opportunity to lead from ahead, rather than behind, for a return to mission, purpose, and tradition. This Taylor inspired collection shows exactly that potential, from top flight scholars, faculty who increasingly not only can but must lead the charge for the renewal of a sector not just for the good of the church, but of the world.

Some books are better read backwards. Start with Zimmermans afterword and let his call for a robustly theological education whose telos is the formation of Christlikeness (for the life of the world) stimulate your interaction with this timely set of essays.
