Synopsis

Realizing our Intentions addresses educators, church leaders, board members, and supporters who believe that distinctive, faith-based colleges and universities will be important voluntary associations in a postmodern society.

Many works have documented the history of higher education in the West, showing how churches have started colleges and universities and then how the churches and schools gradually have distanced themselves from each other. However, Realizing our Intentions goes one step further by offering specific and practical strategies for healthy and long-term relationships between faith-based colleges and churches.

Also available in hardcover.
