“In Christian Higher Education in Canada, Porter and Fawcett curate a deeply meaningful collection of works produced by highly respected scholars and practitioners. Read as a whole, the volume reflects on the past, considers the present, and envisions a future for Canadian Christian higher education. Balancing a distinctly Christian perspective with abundantly sound scholarship, Porter and Fawcett provide a compelling, must-read anthology that yields highly contextualized insights into the status and place of Christian higher education in Canada.”
—Shirley V. Hoogstra, President, Council for Christian Colleges and Universities
“As one who has benefited from and contributed to Canadian Christian higher education for over thirty years, I rejoice over this volume’s informative, troubling, challenging, constructive, and hopeful essays. Addressing the past, present, and future of Canada’s Christian colleges, universities, and seminaries, this collection should be required reading for ministers, faculty, administrators, board members, and educational historians who have a stake in the movement. In the spirit of that great educator, St. Augustine: Tolle lege!”
—David Guretzki, Executive Vice President and Resident Theologian, The Evangelical Fellowship of Canada
