Public Lecture
Christianity and the Crisis of the University
With Dr. Jessica Hooten Wilson
Is a university degree anything more than a pathway to a good job? What is the purpose of education? And what should be the mission of a university? In a time when universities view students as customers and education as credentialing, the Christian tradition offers us a vision of apprenticeship oriented toward a contemplative life of virtue. How can students and scholars in the modern university pursue this vision for all it’s worth?
Take home On the Road with Saint Augustine by James K.A. Smith.
