How do Christian higher education institutions orient new faculty members to their role on a Christian campus? How do they lead faculty members toward a deeper understanding of the Christian dimension of their place in higher education? Bible Colleges, Christian Universities, and Seminaries need a resource that can be provided to faculty members or be used in faculty development discussions. This book is designed to serve as just such a resource. It provides a clear and concise portrait of the general role of faculty from a distinctively evangelical Christian perspective. We use the metanarrative of being formed by the cross to describe the “cruciform” role of professors as teachers in the classroom, mentors to the students, scholars within the academy, and servants of the church and community. Each chapter will have personal and group reflection questions and exercises to aid in application.

Florida Southern College in Lakeland boasts the largest single-site collection of Frank Lloyd Wright architecture in the world. With eleven buildings planned and designed by Wright, the campus forms a rich tableau for examining the architect's philosophy and design practice. In this fully illustrated volume, Dale Allen Gyure tells the engaging story of the ambitious project from beginning to end. The college's dynamic president, Ludd M. Spivey, wanted the grounds and buildings redesigned to embody a modern and distinctly American expression of Protestant theology. Informed by Spivey's vision, his own early educational experience, and his architectural philosophy, Wright conceived the "Child of the Sun" complex. Much like Thomas Jefferson's famous plan for the University of Virginia, the academic village that Wright designed for Florida Southern College expresses a dramatic and personal statement about education in a democratic society. Little studied to date, this significant campus and its history are finally given the attention they deserve in this fascinating volume.

Why do we search for Jesus the Galilean behind the Christ of Paul and before the politics of the earliest Christians? To recover a more humanistic, powerful healer, wondrous teacher, and courageous activist for social justice. Jesus could face the most dominant military force in his world with equanimity because he was living in God's Realm. This divine kingdom belongs to the people, especially the poor, the sick, the dispossessed, and the sinners, and it could never be conquered by the Caesars. This truth shakes the planet. It is the sublime light of freedom which streams from Yeshua when we liberate him from the superstitions and dogmas of religion. Freeing Jesus is the mission of this book. This book is also the story of Ron Mazur's experiences with Roman Catholicism, Unitarianism, Messianic Judaism, the Jesus Seminar, the Spirit of Yeshua Fellowship, and anti-war resistance. In addition it reveals the daring of Thomas Jefferson's quest for the authentic words of Jesus of Nazareth. With www.SpiritofYeshua.net, Free Jesus is virtually plugged into a website and the Internet, creating online interaction with its readers. This 21st century dawns with hope for a happier humanity.

Hispanics are not a current trend. They have been here for centuries and embody an integral part of the United States and higher education. Every racial term—including Hispanic, Latino/a, and more recently Latinx and Latine—is imperfect and problematic. There is no consensus about what works best. Despite this reality, the lives and stories of non-White faculty are essential to the future of Christian higher education. Each author shares their account of working in a predominately White Christian institution. Filled with triumphs, struggles, and penetrating insights, the chapters explain what it is like to experience the shifting demographics of today’s universities, which are bringing increasing numbers of Hispanic students even as the overall number of Hispanic colleagues remains exceedingly small. This book will be especially useful for leaders who may be unaware of how difficult it is to navigate the challenges of Christian higher education as Hispanic faculty.

FROM THE CAVE TO THE CROSS: The cruciform theology of the George Grant and Simone Weil - is an academic work that enucleates the core tenets of Canadian political philosopher, George P. Grant, and his dependence on French philosopher-mystic, Simone Weil, in developing and articulating them. Grant's foundational theology (Platonic Christianity) includes his critique of modernity, his contemplative epistemology, his cosmology / anti-theodicy of the Cross and his cruciform public ethics. For each of these pillar beliefs, the author demonstrates Grant's overt affinities to Weil, cross-referencing his thought to hers and explicating the deep faith foundations of both of their politics, philosophy and ethics.
