The Future of Baptist Higher Education investigates four key issues that inform Baptist efforts at higher education: the denominational conflict that has afflicted Baptists since the 1980s, the secularization of higher education in America, the dominance of the market-driven tendencies in American higher education today, and the meaning of Christian higher education, but more specifically, the meaning of Baptist higher education. This volume clearly illustrates that the meaning of Baptist and Christian higher education, as with the Christian life itself, is far more complex than any one imperial interpretation.

Review
The Future of Baptist Higher Education is an excellent collection of papers delivered at a national colloquium held at Baylor University that highlights the superb diversity of thought that exists within the Baptist higher education ranks. The book makes a contribution to the question, how shall Baptist colleges and universities preserve their heritage while providing leadership within the academy. --Bob R. Agee, Executive Director, Association of Southern Baptist Colleges and Schools
