This book asks Christian educators--particularly those involved in the student affairs profession--to become more engaged with the idea that the programs offered, classes taught, disciplinary actions dispensed, policies framed, and the like, are the arenas in which Christianity must take shape. The book also challenges educators at non-sectarian institutions to entertain the notion that a Christian view of higher learning in general and the student affairs profession in particular may not only be a plausible alternative but a helpful paradigm as well.Contents: A Framework of Understanding, D.
