In this book, Mike Higton provides a constructive critique of
Higher Education policy and practice in the UK, the US and beyond,
from the standpoint of Christian theology. He focuses on the role
universities can and should play in forming students and staff in
intellectual virtue, in sustaining vibrant communities of inquiry,
and in serving the public good. He argues both that modern secular
universities can be a proper context for Christians to pursue their
calling as disciples to learn and to teach, and that Christians can
contribute to the flourishing of such universities as institutions
devoted to learning for the common good. In the process he sets out
a vision of the good university as secular and religiously plural,
as socially inclusive, and as deeply and productively entangled
with the surrounding society. Along the way, he engages with a
range of historical examples (the medieval University of Paris, the
University of Berlin in the nineteenth century, and John Henry
Newman's work in Oxford and Dublin) and with a range of
contemporary writers on Higher Education from George Marsden to
Stanley Hauerwas and from David Ford to Rowan Williams.
