The Cruciform Faculty

<p>How do Christian higher education institutions orient new faculty members<br/>to their role on a Christian campus? How do they lead faculty members<br/>toward a deeper understanding of the Christian dimension of their place in higher education? Bible<br/>Colleges, Christian Universities, and Seminaries need a resource that can be provided to faculty<br/>members or be used in faculty development discussions.<br/>This book is designed to serve as just such a resource. It provides a clear and concise portrait of the<br/>general role of faculty from a distinctively evangelical Christian perspective. We use the<br/>metanarrative of being formed by the cross to describe the “cruciform” role of professors as<br/>teachers in the classroom, mentors to the students, scholars within the academy, and servants of<br/>the church and community. Each chapter will have personal and<br/>group reflection questions and exercises to aid in application.</p>
