PUBLISHER's ABSTRACT

To discuss the idea of a Christian college is to think about both "curriculum" and "community." This short book is a down-to-earth exposition that explains the need for a distinctive Christian curriculum and also shows how a Christian college forms a community in its own right while endeavoring to serve a broader Christian community. The book is addressed to all Christians who take an active interest in higher education, regardless of their own educational attainments. It answers basic questions as it seeks to chart a direction for Christian higher eductaion in the 1980s and should especially benefit those who are concerned with the choice between Christian and "public" higher education.
