Download or read book The Gift and Task of Lutheran Higher Education written by Tom Christenson and published by Augsburg Fortress Pub. This book was released on 2004 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why should Lutherans care whether there are any ''Lutheran'' colleges and universities? Why should people who study, teach, and work in colleges and universities care whether they are ''Lutheran'' or not? And, maybe most significantly, what does the continued robustness of Lutheran higher education have to contribute to the church and to life and work in the broader public arena? Tom Christenson has thoughtful and persuasive answers to all these questions, and more.
