CONCERN for Education. Группа авторов

Once upon a time a group of young Anabaptist scholars took it upon themselves to convene a series of incisive conversations that addressed questions of Christian renewal. Among other topics that the CONCERN group (1955-1971) took on was the subject of how to think about higher education in the context of Christian renewal. At the dawn of the twenty-first century, «intentional Christian communities» are being created in the context of student leadership development programs, and a new generation of Programs for Theological Exploration of Vocation (PTEV) at church related colleges are providing mini-grants for students involved in the New Monasticism movement. With such endeavors in mind, these essays–by Joanne Zerger Janzen, Walter Klassen, Albert Meyer, John Howard Yoder and company–raise probing questions that remain worth engaging by Christians who are concerned about what it means to seek the renewal of Christian higher education today.
