SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
The Future of Baptist Higher Education investigates four key issues that inform Baptist efforts at higher education - the denominational conflict that has afflicted Baptists since the 1980s, the secularization of higher education in America, the dominance of the market-driven tendencies in American higher education today, and the meaning of Christian higher education, but more specifically, the meaning of Baptist higher education. This volume clearly illustrates that the meaning of Baptist and Christian higher education, as with the Christian life itself, is far more complex than any one imper.
