| Résumé : |
The first comprehensive history of Protestant higher education in America, The Christian College is organized chronologically, beginning with seventeenth-century Harvard and following the development of American higher education to the present day. Explicitly Christian higher education was virtually the only form of American collegiate instruction until the years following the Civil War, when education became more diverse and more secular. Since that time, the four-year liberal arts colleges which maintain a self-conscious religious orientation have become a distinct minority, and they have been largely ignored by historians of higher education. William C. Ringenberg has written this book to help fill this void in historiography and to assist Protestant colleges in understanding their educational and spiritual heritage.
An introductory essay by Mark Noll, which charts the intellectual history of American Christianity and its effect on the colleges, provides a conceptual framework for the more institutionally oriented history which follows. |
