2020 ECPA Top Shelf Book Cover Award In the late 1960s and on into
the next decade, the American pastor and bestselling author Francis
Schaeffer regularly received requests from evangelicals across
North America seeking his help to replicate his innovative learning
community, L'Abri, within their own contexts. At the same time, an
innovative school called Regent College had started up in
Vancouver, British Columbia, led by James Houston and offering
serious theological education for laypeople. Before long, numerous
admirers and attendees of L'Abri and of Regent had launched
Christian "study centers" of their own-often based on or near
university campuses-from Berkeley to Maryland. For evangelical baby
boomers coming of age in the midst of unprecedented educational
opportunity and cultural upheaval, these multifaceted communities
inspired a generation to study, pray, and engage culture more
faithfully-in the words of James M. Houston, "to think
Christianly." In this compelling and comprehensive history, Charles
Cotherman traces the stories of notable study centers and networks,
as well as their influence on a generation that would reshape
twentieth-century Christianity. Beginning with the innovations of
L'Abri and Regent College, Cotherman elucidates the histories of
The C. S. Lewis Institute near Washington, DC R. C. Sproul's
Ligonier Valley Study Center in Stahlstown, Pennsylvania New
College Berkeley The Center for Christian Study at the University
of Virginia The Consortium of Christian Study Centers, which now
includes dozens of institutions Each of these projects owed
something to Schaeffer's and Houston's approaches, which combined
intellectual and cultural awareness with compelling spirituality,
open-handed hospitality, relational networks, and a deep commitment
to the gospel's significance for all fields of study-and all of
life. Cotherman argues that the centers' mission of lay theological
education blazed a new path for evangelicals to fully engage the
life of the mind and culture. Built on a rich foundation of
original interviews, archival documents, and contemporary sources,
To Think Christianly sheds new light on this set of defining
figures and places in evangelicalism's life of the mind.
