At a time when Christian voices in higher education are facing increased persecution and marginalization, the Christian authors of this collection who teach in public universities share their faith-learning integration journeys including their practical, theoretical, and biblically based strategies for teaching, administration, and doing research. Authors explain how they actively subvert secular worldviews that marginalize biblical truth, promote incivility, and discourage love of neighbor. At the same time, they explore pro-active, bridge-building and transformational methods for cultivating biblical absolutes and Christian virtue in ways that prompt evangelistic encounters. The book adds to ongoing and robust faith-learning conversations in higher education by offering additional and “out-of-the-box” approaches for helping students and others think Christianly, and deeply, about areas of interest in ways that redeem culture at local and national levels.
