Recenzii
“The essays in this collection will prove relevant to all faculty, graduate students, and undergraduates seeking to be Christians of incarnational faith in the academy. … Scales and Howell have collected excellent essays that reflect the common desire to integrate faith and learning. … The conversation that Scales and Howell facilitate does not reinforce a weak conjoining of faith and learning, but calls for a stewardship wholly animated and brought to life by faith.” (Paige Ray, International Journal of Christianity & Education, Vol. 22 (2), 2018)

Textul de pe ultima copertă
This book provides new insights on the unique role of graduate students within Christian higher education. Weaving together a variety of voices–doctoral students, new faculty, and seasoned scholars–with findings from empirical qualitative research, the book examines how faith and stewardship guide how they pursue scholarship and teaching as well as the academy’s relationship to the church. The result of this examination is a coherent and thematic narrative that will appeal to Christian graduate students and new faculty seeking to enter the academy with a clear sense of purpose and responsibility.
