What People are Saying About This
"This inaugural volume of the Frameworks series marks it as a go-to set of books for those working in Christian universities. Its contributors here connect the liberal arts tradition to Christian formation in provocative and thoughtful ways, and Lewis and Mittelstadt's editorial oversight is suggestive for how interdisciplinarity will continue to facilitate the integration of Christian faith and learning in the present higher education ferment."
Amos Yong, Professor of Theology & Mission, Fuller Theological Seminary
