Engaging the culture, changing the world : the Christian university in a post-Christian world / [print] Philip W. Eaton. - Downers Grove, Ill. : IVP Academic, (c)2011. - 206 pages ; 23 cm
Engaging the culture, changing the world -- The stories we tell : the American university in crisis -- Negotiating a world of colliding maps -- what happens when we simply don't know what to say? -- Campus life without a guiding story -- The red t-shirt and the dinner-table drama -- The presumption of unbelief and the consequences -- A world without Easter -- Something we've never seen before -- The city and that every-elusive certainty -- Shattering fixed conclusions : the power of the imagination -- The gospel and cultural engagement -- Paul's explosive vision -- Restoring communities of trust -- Embracing the Christian story -- Modeling vibrant Christian community -- An alternative history, an alternative university -- A story of human flourishing and the work of the university.
Going against the mainstream of Christian higher education, Eaton envisions a place that considers engagement and interaction with culture to be a positive priority. Going against the mainstream of secular higher education, Eaton envisions a place where the grand narrative of the Christian gospel is affirmed as a life-giving response to the critical issues of our day.
