The Pepperdine University Newsroom has released the following article interviewing Ron Highfield about his recent book from Sulis Academic Press entitled The Christian University and the Academic Establishment.
An excerpt from the review:
Shedding light on the value of a Christian worldview in higher education, Ron Highfield, professor of religion at Seaver College, has authored a new book, The Christian University and the Academic Establishment. Informed by four decades of experience as a religion professor at Pepperdine University, Highfield’s research examines the history and theory of higher education and develops a defense of Christian education’s mission of stewarding biblical truth.
“Among other reasons, I wrote this book to define with greater precision the basic academic and spiritual values that should animate the Christian university,” says Highfield, “believing that greater clarity about the history and current embodiments of these principles will facilitate discussion of how best to carry out the Christian mission in higher education.”
