Flourishing in the Middle Ground: Christian Higher Education in 2013 and Beyond

Abstract

Christian higher education occupies the middle ground in time:

• Seeking to honor the past by fidelity to historic principles and precepts of both Scripture and denominational beliefs
• Seeking to survive and grow in the present with all its operational and strategic realities and demands
• Seeking to both anticipate and position itself for a future of possibilities and problems

The challenge of occupying the “middle” is more than just a time and spatial reference.
