Ministering
in the Secular University: A Guide for Christian Professors and Staff
by Dr. Joseph McRae Mellichamp is Emeritus Professor of Management Science
in the Manderson Graduate School of Business at the University of Alabama.
In the past 100 years, Christianity
has been relegated to the unimportant or trivial regions of the university.
Today, there is no place in the university for Christian thought—no
place in the curriculum for Christian ideals and no place in the university's
research enterprise for Christian ideas. What is to be done about this?
The
issue must be addressed on two fronts—an intellectual front and
a personal front. The intellectual front has to do with the appropriate
role of Christianity in the university. The personal front has to do
with how Christian academics attempt to impact students, associates,
and individual universities for Christ. This book is for the serious
Christian academic concerned with having an impact for Christ in the
university.
