Author Bio
▼▲Editorial Reviews
▼▲ "For academics and interested lay readers who long for a portal through which they may enter the expansive theological scope of the educational enterprise, Shatzer provides a relentlessly accessible framework for thoughtful reflection. He balances an introductory overview of numerous intersections of faith and learning with a nuanced exploration of the disciplines that constitute the university curriculum. In the end, it is an encouraging word for thoughtful teaching and Christ-centered colleagueship."
Gene Fant, president, North Greenville University
"Christian colleges and universities are filled with faculty who love the Lord, but who have never been challenged to think theologically about their academic work. Helping them bridge the gap between doctrine and their disciplines is one of the most important components of faculty development in Christ-centered institutions. In Faithful Learning, Jacob Shatzer provides us a great short introduction to theology, yet the application reflections by scholars in various fields make this the ideal book to help faculty wrestle with how Scripture applies to their teaching and research. We will be using Faithful Learning at our university for many years to come."
Nathan A. Finn, provost and dean of the University Faculty, North Greenville University
"One of the great opportunities for faculty new to the Christian university is the time and expectation that they will think deeply about the intersections between their faith and scholarly work. Shatzers Faithful Learning provides an excellent starting point. The concise theological introductions followed by examples from different disciplines will give these new faculty an excellent resource to begin this journey."
Nathan Lane, associate provost and dean of the Catherine T. MacArthur School, Palm Beach Atlantic University
"I wish Faithful Learning had been around when I started my teaching career. Jacob Shatzer has penned a valuable primer for any faculty member just starting out in Christian higher education. Succinct yet comprehensive, Faithful Learning will indeed leave the reader hungry to know God more fully."
Barbara McMillin, president, Blue Mountain College
"Faithful Learning is a great help to all in Christ-centered higher education. For a book that starts with norma normans non normata, it engages faculty in ways that no other systematic theology text doesand we are all the better for it. Grounded, theologically orthodox, and helpful as we think about living out our faith in various disciplines. It is also an encouragement for young scholars who want to use their intellectual gifts to the glory of God."
Samuel W. "Dub" Oliver, president, Union University
