"Let every student be plainly instructed . . . to consider well the
main end of . . . life and studies is to know God and Jesus Christ
which is eternal life . . . and therefore to lay Christ in the
bottom, as the only foundation of all sound knowledge and
learning." -Harvard College Laws, 1642 There was a time when
Harvard was considered a holy place and Princeton trained prophets,
when students and professors could not help but pray because there
were certain questions that could only be answered by an Intellect
greater than our own. There was a time when student leaders
galvanized campus movements, when young revolutionaries defied the
status quo of their generation and engaged in sacrificial service
that reshaped society and transformed culture. There was a time . .
. God on Campus traces a remarkable legacy of spiritual awakening
that stretches from the founding of the earliest colleges in the
United States to a global movement of nonstop student prayer
spreading across campuses today. "This is a book to help you
remember your roots," Trent Sheppard writes, "ordinary people like
you and me--bold and timid, brilliant and insecure, disillusioned
and dangerous, ambitious and naive, holy and fallen, fearless and
afraid--people who prayed, people who conspired together with their
friends in faith and action, people who believed their lives could
actually help shape the unfolding narrative of history." From the
establishment of early American campuses during the Great Awakening
to the rapidly spreading collegiate movements of the twenty-first
century, Sheppard shows how students can integrate their passion in
prayer with practical Christ-like living in culture. "The goal," he
explains, "is not for us to abandon our studies in economics or
education and all become preachers instead. The goal is to live
like Jesus in the very soul of society." Culminating in a movement
to mobilize prayer on every college and university campus in the
United States throughout 2010, God on Campus is an invitation for
students to find their place in the story of God today.
