Christian higher education (CHE) is increasingly a transnational
and global endeavor, with over one-sixth of the almost two hundred
institutional members of the Council for Christian Colleges &
Universities (CCCU) located in nineteen countries outside the
United States. Much of this is related to the shift of the
Christian center of gravity to the global South over the last half
century, and in particular to the explosion of pentecostal and
charismatic forms of churches across Asia, Africa, and Latin
America, all of which also feeds back via migration to the
so-called "browning" of the churches of North America. Networks
like the CCCU have sought to bridge faith and learning through a
certain form of Christ-centeredness and biblical orientation. While
these theological priorities of the evangelical Protestant
tradition have gained wide currency, the pneumatic spirituality of
the pentecostal and charismatic movements is rarely considered when
thinking about a distinctively Christian vision of higher
education. When even God is showing up at secular universities, one
wonders what difference considerations of the Holy Spirit might
make to complement and perhaps revitalize the christocentrism
renowned across CHE. The Holy Spirit and Higher Education responds
along two interrelated lines: by reconsidering historic Christian
education itself from this pentecostal perspective, and by
formulating an approach to CHE around the charismatic, sanctifying,
and missional dimensions of the Spirit's activity. Yong and Coulter
show that CHE should be both Christ-centered and
Pentecost-inspired, both biblically faithful and pneumatically
empowered, both faith-committed and charismatically propelled.
