Student Affairs Reconsidered: A Christian View of the Profession and its Contexts (Calvin Center Series)

This book asks Christian educators―particularly those involved in the student affairs profession―to become more engaged with the idea that the programs offered, classes taught, disciplinary actions dispensed, policies framed, and the like, are the arenas in which Christianity must take shape. The book also challenges educators at non-sectarian institutions to entertain the notion that a Christian view of higher learning in general and the student affairs profession in particular may not only be a plausible alternative but a helpful paradigm as well.Contents: A Framework of Understanding, D. Terry Thomas and David S. Guthrie; Student Affairs in Historical Perspective, Barry J. Loy and William M. Painter; Student Learning and Student Affairs, David S. Guthrie; Christian Higher Education and Christian Student Affairs, David S.

"What if we??" For some, these three words and what follow them--irrespective of what those words may be--produce irritation and anxiety. For others, these three words and what follow them are necessary to offer with regularity, irrespective of what may or may not subsequently unfold. This book is characterized by the latter as expressed by the metaphor of dreams. The dreams specifically concern the project of Christian higher education. They were written and presented over the course of more than 20 years to a variety of audiences. Some are more "academic" and some more practical; some are more personal, even autobiographical. All are intended to catalyze new dreams for Christian higher education that are responsive to students, to social contexts and challenges, and ultimately to the Lord of all things.
