Conceiving the Christian College

Discipleship & Christian Education

“Duane Litfin's Conceiving the Christian College makes an important contribution to the conversation about the nature and purpose of Christian colleges and universities. It thoughtfully engages the seminal works of a long list of significant thinkers on this topic, from John Henry Newman to the more recent writings of Arthur Holmes, Charles Malik, George Marsden, James Burtchaell, and Robert Benne on the idea of, and prospects for, a distinctively Christian college. Litfin both affirms and corrects their work in articulate and analytically discerning ways. Most importantly, to my mind, he rightly argues that extensive, all-inclusive claims of the lordship of Jesus Christ are what make a Christian college distinctive. This good book is worthwhile reading for anyone who cares about Christian higher education.”

Religions on Trial

World Religions

“With the mind of a lawyer and the expertise of a biblical theologian, Mark Lanier winsomely engages the truth and reliability of other religions, both formal and informal. His careful use of logic, historical testimony, the rules of evidence, consistency, and common sense make this very thoughtful work not only a highly readable introduction to the well-known religions of the world, but a fair and insightful analysis of their coherence and intellectual viability as well. It is a pleasure to recommend this volume to students, laypersons, and pastors.”

Sacred Pace

Christian Living

“This is a book by a thoughtful and successful Christian businessman. He tells the moving story of his own burnout and conversion, but that’s only the beginning. Now, after many years of following Christ, Terry Looper shares what he has learned about decision-making as a Christian and connects that with the process of making deals as a businessman. Slowing down and listening (he calls it ‘getting neutral’) and learning how to sense the leading of the Spirit are insights he has gained from years of business experience and are inextricably linked to his love for Jesus.”

The Gospel and the Mind

Christian Living

“Green has written a very accessible book on the intellectual life and its related responsibilities for Christians and the church. He has pursued his central aim by careful appeals to great thinkers in the history of the church: for example, Athanasius, Augustine, and Aquinas. Green not only grounds his theological work in both creation and the gospel, but also takes on the nihilistic assumptions regarding words and their meaning as espoused in deconstructionism. I gladly commend this work to anyone looking for a clear and thoughtful approach to the church’s responsibilities for shaping and preserving the great intellectual traditions so crucial to human flourishing.”

The Great Tradition of Christian Thinking

Discipleship & Christian Education

“David Dockery and Timothy George, two experienced and wise Christian educators, have produced the first volume of what promises to be an important series of guides—aimed at students—intended both to recover and instruct regarding the Christian intellectual tradition. This volume, and no doubt the series as well, meets a significant need, not only for students but also for ministers and academics who are charged with the responsibility of helping us all think and live faithfully as followers of Christ. In light of our deeply flawed world, every generation needs a fresh retelling—in literature, theology, the arts, philosophy, or public policy—of the central truths of all human and natural experience, as revealed by the one true and living God through his Son and as authoritatively and indispensably taught in Holy Scripture.”
