Product Description
by Mark H. Heinemann (Author), James R. Estep (Author), Mark a. Maddix (Author)
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.
