Glanzer, Perry L.; Cockle, Theodore F.; Martin, Jessica; Alexander, Scott – Religious Education, 2023
Faith-based colleges and universities in America have historically been described as "church-related." Unfortunately, this classification is too one-dimensional, revealing virtually nothing about how faith-based identity influences the mission, rhetoric, curriculum, or policies of institutions. Although scholars have advanced…

Leslie J. Francis; Ursula McKenna; Susan H. Jones – Journal of Beliefs & Values, 2024
Metaphors were introduced to the science of cathedral studies by Muskett in her book, "Shop window, flagship, common ground." Such metaphors have the power to inform and shape the perception of cathedrals, but lack theological or ecclesial authority. Gary Hall's analysis of "The purpose of cathedrals" offers a different…

Patrice A. Wright – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Leadership has been shown to be crucial in the success of organizations, especially in higher education. However, little research has been done about leadership styles and effectiveness in North American Division (NAD) of Seventh-Day Adventists (SDA) higher education institutions. My study examined transformational, transactional, and passive…

Smith, Austin T.; Glanzer, Perry L.; Cockle, Theodore F. – Christian Higher Education, 2023
Although higher education scholars have examined chaplaincy in college and university settings, we are not aware of any studies that have sought to examine chaplains who live and serve in residence halls. As such, we conducted a collective case study of three Protestant institutions with residential chaplain roles--Taylor University, Pepperdine…

This article examines the locations of the 111 governing members of the Council for Christian Colleges & Universities (CCCU) and consider how these locations hinder evangelical Protestants from reaching their goal of engaging American society.

Music and the Sin of Sloth: The Gendered Articulation of Worthy Musical Time in Early American Music
Shorner-Johnson, Kevin – Philosophy of Music Education Review, 2019
Sociologist Max Weber identified Puritan constructions of virtuous time and the sin of sloth as having explanatory power for the origins of Puritan action and capitalist economies. This article expands upon Weber's thesis to examine how the sin of sloth was reinterpreted to encourage or prohibit psalm singing, singing schools, and later forms of…

Lurie, Z.A.; Mashevskaya, S.M. – Paedagogica Historica: International Journal of the History of Education, 2023
The theatrical heritage of Jan Amos Comenius (1592-1670), the famous Czech teacher, religious thinker, and playwright, has been for a long time underestimated. There is little research on this topic. However, theatre played a very important role within the Pansophic school. The method of theatralisation was not new, but in the age of Comenius it…

Sarah Henseler; Mary Grace Neville; Hind Lebdaoui – Journal of Beliefs & Values, 2024
As emerging adult college students ponder their religious/spiritual beliefs and identities, those in religiously diverse countries (e.g. the USA) often encounter beliefs different from their own. These encounters can prompt new perspectives on their own beliefs and elicit responses from rejection to incorporation of the diverging belief, thus…

Perry L. Glanzer – International Journal of Christianity & Education, 2024
A recent global reconnaissance of Christian higher education found a number of key themes that shaped current developments, such as the pressing challenges of secularization and nationalization but also the advantages of privatization and massification. This article provides an update to this older analysis by taking a birds-eye view of trends…

Cottrell-Boyce, Aidan – History of Education, 2022
In recent years, many scholars have drawn a distinction between procedural and programmatic secularism. Procedural secularists seek to build communities wherein 'competing concepts of the good life' are afforded opportunities for expression. Programmatic secularists seek to limit the influence of religion within the public sphere. The 1870…

Alison Johnson; Rian R. Djita; Lynn E. Swaner – Journal of Religious Education, 2024
Teacher quality is one of the most important factors influencing a student's educational outcomes, yet scant research has examined teacher hiring and quality in Protestant Christian schools.

M. Christhu Doss – Paedagogica Historica: International Journal of the History of Education, 2024
Women missionaries who came to India with a superior Protestant religious imaginary were keen on critiquing Hindu cultural practices that created divergences and transfigurations. They blatantly proclaimed that the deep-rooted custom of women's "seclusion" was a stumbling block to education, evangelisation and modernisation. This study…

Sandro R. Barros; Mary Juzwik; Kasun Gajasinghe – Journal of Literacy Research, 2024
Reluctance to embrace change leaves societies vulnerable to the rise of authoritarian political ideologies, particularly during times of socioeconomic and political crises. Public schools have seen an increase in incidents where fundamentalist groups with differing agendas have attempted to pressure them into adopting curricula whose literacy…

Vos, Pieter – Christian Higher Education, 2017
Vocation, interpreted as the calling of every individual believer to serve God in ordinary life, has been an important feature of Protestantism. However, not only has the notion of vocation gradually disappeared from the late modern understanding of work and profession, the identification of vocation and work has also been criticized by…
