Fostering Faithful Engagement with Postmodernity: Practical Suggestions for Christian College Faculty and Administrators
Rine, P. Jesse
Journal of College and Character, v13 n4 Nov 2012
How can evangelical Christian colleges prepare their students to lead lives of Christian faith in a postmodern world characterized by cultural heterogeneity? Fallibilist Christian spirituality is presented as an orientation that empowers students to be receptive to the insights of diverse perspectives while maintaining their personal faith commitments. Drawing on the author's previous empirical research on fallibilist Christian spirituality and its institutional predictors, this article provides practical suggestions regarding how faculty and administrators at Christian colleges can create learning environments in which students both grow in their commitment to Christian faith and become more engaged with the pluralism of postmodernity.
