Rekindling an Old Light: The Virtue and Value of Christ-Shaped Liberal Arts Learning

What if there could be more to college than just job preparation?

What if college education could secure for your life meaning and purpose-not to mention success-far beyond job offers and affluence?

Rekindling an Old Light reveals that such education is indeed available, if you know what to look for and where to find it.

In colleges, universities, and academies engaged in Christ-shaped liberal arts education, the disciplines (literature, philosophy, history, etc.) are grounded in God's shalom and design for human flourishing. Their study, therefore, is infused with value far beyond what is often assumed today.

In these pages, twelve Christian scholars offer Christ-shaped presentations of the main liberal arts, highlighting the deep value of each. These essays come together in expert illumination of the nature and benefits of Christ-shaped liberal arts education, offering a profoundly rich vision for why you should attend a Christian liberal arts college.
