Building a Culture of Faith: University-wide Partnerships for Spiritual Formation
''This book is a sign of new movements in Christian higher education. For a generation, in response to the 'scandal of the evangelical mind,' we focused on advancing Christian scholarship. Now we are seeing a new intentionality about Christian teaching and learning, seeing the mission of the Christian university in terms of holistic formation. In such a vision, there is no 'extra'-curricular.Building a Culture of Faithis a provocative invitation to join this conversation. It should interest all of those working with students across the university: whether in classrooms or residence halls, the chapel or the laboratory.'' --James K. A. Smith, Professor of Philosophy, Calvin College and author ofDesiring the Kingdom: Worship, Worldview, and Cultural Formation''Building a Culture of Faithfills a crucial space in Christian higher education.
