This fascinating volume traces, for the first time, the history of the fifty presently operating Lutheran colleges and universities in the United States and Canada.
Lutheran colleges and universities occupy a distinctive space in American higher education. In an age where the dividing line between sacred and secular has become blurred, Brian Beckstrom argues that their "rooted and open" approach, combined with adaptive theological leadership, could be the best hope for faith based higher education. To do so, he provides an overview of Lutheran higher education, its history, and identity, and combines surveys of students, faculty, and staff at Lutheran institutions with leadership theory and theological reflection. Leaders at Lutheran colleges and universities will find it to be helpful in understanding their mission, identity, and vocation in a secular age, and navigating the changing cultural environment that challenges the church and higher education alike.
Intended as a primer, the book seeks to cultivate knowledge of Lutheran Higher Education that is both appreciative, critical, and constructive. Written by a veritable who's who of faculty and administrators, this volume is a must read for everyone concerned about the work being done on Lutheran campuses.
