Academic Freedom and Christian Scholarship

“President Diekema shows — contrary to some current opinion — how firm commitment to academic freedom can operate within the context of firm commitment to a religious faith. His reflections are clear, well informed, and balanced. His insights and proposals should be important resources for administrators and faculty at any institution that is serious about maintaining both faith and freedom.”

George Marsden

“Anthony Diekema's work should become a standard point of reference for Christian academics and administrators in both church-related and secular institutions. He explores the meaning and necessity of academic freedom in relation to worldviews and the mission of a college or university, and offers creative proposals for policy development. A thoroughly researched, balanced, and persuasive book.”

Arthur F. Holmes

“A wise book that ought to be read by everyone who cares about healthy Christian intellectual inquiry.”
