Chris ti an h ighe r educa tion a ims , unapologetically, to shape the minds and worldviews of the next generation. We endeavor to train young men and women to think deeply and think biblically about every area of life. This is not an easy task, but one fraught with challenge and controversy at every step. In one sense, this is nothing new. The task has FAITHFUL TEACHING IN A TIME OF TRIAL: THE CHARACTER OF CHRISTIAN HIGHER EDUCATION always been difficult. In just the past century, Christian colleges have survived two world wars, the Great Depression, several cultural transformations, and a technological revolution. While Christian higher education has weathered these storms valiantly, the next few decades will bring challenges that are unprecedented in scope and in urgency. Yet these heightened challenges must only serve to heighten our resolve to succeed. If we are to prepare the next generation of believers to hold fast to the Gospel in a post-Christian age, we must be committed to providing higher education that is Christian not only in name, but unashamedly in conviction as well. by R.
