In Mission-Driven Colleges: Keeping First Things First in Christian Higher Education, Scott Rae and Rick Langer argue that a successful Christian university goes beyond simply incorporating religious studies.

They propose that the entire institution, from its leadership to its curriculum, must be designed to nurture a distinctive Christian worldview.

The book delves into four foundational questions:

  • What defines a university?
  • What sets a Christian university apart?
  • What makes your specific university unique within the Christian landscape?
  • How can academic disciplines be approached from a Christian perspective?

Through these questions, Rae and Langer demonstrate how to build the structural framework that empowers a Christian university to thrive. They guide educators and administrators in strategizing, planning, and implementing practices that ensure both a deep Christian identity and academic rigor. Mission-Driven Colleges is a vital resource for anyone committed to the success of Christian universities, offering a clear path to realizing their full educational mission.
