The Gift and Task of Lutheran Higher Education

Why should Lutherans care whether there are any ''Lutheran'' colleges and universities? Why should people who study teach and work in colleges and universities care whether they are ''Lutheran'' or not? And maybe most significantly what does the continued robustness of Lutheran higher education have to contribute to the church and to life and work in the broader public arena? Tom Christenson has thoughtful and persuasive answers to all these questions and more.
