Reviews
Engaging the Culture, Changing the World should be required reading for leaders in the fields of Christian higher education and theology., Engaging the Culture, Changing the World offers a radiant, joyful and hopeful vision for the work of Christian higher education. I am confident that this marvelously-written resource will greatly influence the next generation of Christian educators. Attractively and engagingly presented, Phil Eaton's impressive volume will certainly find a warm welcome among Christian leaders, faculty and students alike., Brace for a bold vision: Our generation may be adrift, this president says, but twenty-first-century Christian institutions of higher learning can be splendid beacons of the light our world so desperately needs--if only they have the courage and conviction to do so. This is Phil Eaton at his winsome best., For millennia, all major cultures--including Chinese, Greek, Roman and Jewish--prized both knowledge and character. Only in our time has higher education separated the two. Phil Eaton prophetically casts a Christ-centered vision of the university that enfolds faith and function, virtue and vocation, competence and character. This is a call we must heed., Phil Eaton is a gifted and visionary leader in the world of Christian liberal arts education. This fine book is packed with wisdom that can inform and inspire all of us who care about equipping a new generation of kingdom agents for the difficult--but exciting!--challenges of our increasingly complex world., Engaging the Culture, Changing the Worldoffers a radiant, joyful and hopeful vision for the work of Christian higher education. I am confident that this marvelously-written resource will greatly influence the next generation of Christian educators. Attractively and engagingly presented, Phil Eaton's impressive volume will certainly find a warm welcome among Christian leaders, faculty and students alike., With keen insight from years of thoughtful reflection on the topic, Phil Eaton provides an extraordinarily powerful description of our culture torn from its roots by a cacophony of voices that have us in a sea of bewilderment. Globally, cultures have lost their way, tangled in a complex maze of disbelief, with shattered cultural mainstays strewn all about and a broken compass that can't discern a true direction. With great energy and passion Eaton challenges Christian higher education to excel with a winsome engagement of cultures with our truth claims of Scripture, to be in the world expressing love to the world but not of the world, and using appropriate language the world will understand to build trust and convey the good news, joy and hope of the gospel. This book is an absolute must-read for leaders in Christian higher education who are serious about transforming lives to impact the world for Christ and his kingdom!, Philip Eaton's robust and reasoned faith in the power of Christian truth to build a world capable of fostering genuine human flourishing is at the heart of this important proposal for the renewal of Christian higher education. In a culture like our own, unsure of its grasp on the truth of anything, Eaton's portrait of the university as a truth-discovering, truth-offering institution is bracing, brave and absolutely necessary. It just might change the world., Philip Eaton argues passionately that the Christian university must be reconceived, at a time when contemporary culture doubts the Christian story. He calls upon the Christian university to engage the very culture that has 'exiled' it. Now, he declares, is the moment to tell again the transforming story of the gospel, and to speak to the world a language of 'healing, wholeness and reconciliation.' The central mission of Eaton's Christian university is to equip its students with the necessary critical skills and competencies, and thus to prepare them to build a model of 'human flourishing, which will make the world a better place.' It is a compelling vision., I would recommend this text for those who are members of Christian universities. It is good to be reminded why Christian institutions have a unique and valuable place in society. Eaton does this well. . . . I enjoyed reading this book as Eaton took me for a metaphorical walk through the halls of the Christian university., With keen insight from years of thoughtful reflection on the topic, Phil Eaton provides an extraordinarily powerful description of our culture torn from its roots by a cacophony of voices that have us in a sea of bewilderment. Globally, cultures have lost their way, tangled in a complex maze of disbelief, with shattered cultural mainstays strewn all about and a broken compass that can't discern a true direction. With great energy and passion Eaton challenges Christian higher education to excel with a winsome engagement of cultures with our truth claims of Scripture, to be in the world expressing love to the world but not of the world, and using appropriate language the world will understand to build trust and convey the good news, joy and hope of the gospel. This book is an absolute must-read for leaders in Christian higher education who are serious about transforming lives to impact the world for Christ and his kingdom!, President Eaton sharpens the question and our response to an amorphous enemy--a culture detaching itself from its historical moorings in truth and in a God who cares. He prescribes a role for hope-filled universities to winsomely engage this culture and transform it. Yet his important message is not just for university presidents and parents preparing to write tuition checks, but for all of us who care about the society we will hand down to our grandchildren., Every Christian educator, pastor, and parent of a high school student needs to read this book, especially if they care about transforming lives., Philip Eaton argues passionately that the Christian university must be reconceived, at a time when contemporary culture doubts the Christian story. He calls upon the Christian university to engage the very culture that has 'exiled' it. Now, he declares, is the moment to tell again the transforming story of the gospel, and to speak to the world a language of 'healing, wholeness and reconciliation.' The central mission of Eaton's Christian university is to equip its students with the necessary critical skills and competencies, and thus to prepare them to build a model of 'human flourishing, which will make the world a better place.' It is a compelling vision., 'The kingdom of God,' Jesus told his disciples, 'is advancing forcefully, and forceful men lay hold of it.' Two thousand years later, we, as Christians, are ambassadors for this same kingdom--facing confrontation with our post-Christian society. Yet we too are called to advance; we too are called to challenge; we too are called to 'take every thought captive to obey Christ.' This, and nothing less, is the very task Christ has given us to do. Phil Eaton's idea that a university might just change the world is right, and his important ideas provide us with many of the tools we will need to succeed.
