Reviews"For academics and interested lay readers who long for a portal through which they may enter the expansive theological scope of the educational enterprise, Shatzer provides a relentlessly accessible framework for thoughtful reflection. He balances an introductory overview of numerous intersections of faith and learning with a nuanced exploration of the disciplines that constitute the university curriculum. In the end, it is an encouraging word for thoughtful teaching and Christ-centered colleagueship." --Gene Fant, president, North Greenville University "Christian colleges and universities are filled with faculty who love the Lord, but who have never been challenged to think theologically about their academic work. Helping them bridge the gap between doctrine and their disciplines is one of the most important components of faculty development in Christ-centered institutions. In Faithful Learning, Jacob Shatzer provides us a great short introduction to theology, yet the application reflections by scholars in various fields make this the ideal book to help faculty wrestle with how Scripture applies to their teaching and research. We will be using Faithful Learning at our university for many years to come." --Nathan A. Finn, provost and dean of the University Faculty, North Greenville University "One of the great opportunities for faculty new to the Christian university is the time and expectation that they will think deeply about the intersections between their faith and scholarly work. Shatzer's Faithful Learning provides an excellent starting point. The concise theological introductions followed by examples from different disciplines will give these new faculty an excellent resource to begin this journey." --Nathan Lane, associate provost and dean of the Catherine T. MacArthur School, Palm Beach Atlantic University "I wish Faithful Learning had been around when I started my teaching career. Jacob Shatzer has penned a valuable primer for any faculty member just starting out in Christian higher education. Succinct yet comprehensive, Faithful Learning will indeed leave the reader hungry to know God more fully." --Barbara McMillin, president, Blue Mountain College "Faithful Learning is a great help to all in Christ-centered higher education. For a book that starts with norma normans non normata, it engages faculty in ways that no other systematic theology text does--and we are all the better for it. Grounded, theologically orthodox, and helpful as we think about living out our faith in various disciplines. It is also an encouragement for young scholars who want to use their intellectual gifts to the glory of God." --Samuel W. "Dub" Oliver, president, Union University

SynopsisIn Faithful Learning, Jacob Shatzer offers an accessible theological primer for Christian educators who desire to understand their disciplines through a theological lens. Each chapter includes doctrinal introductions followed by paradigms that readers can learn from and implement. Ultimately, Shatzer outlines a theological and practical framework that faculty, staff, and administrators alike can employ in Christian higher education., Faithful Learning aims to fill a gap in Christian higher education by providing a theology primer accessible to Christian educators who may not have any formal theological training and by illustrating how Christian doctrine intersects with various academic disciplines. The intended audience for this book is current and future faculty, staff, and administrators in Christian higher education. The author envisions this book as one that directors of faculty development might purchase en masse to give to new and current faculty or use in faculty trainings., Faithful Learning is a basic theology primer, but with a twist: the goal is to provide those in Christian higher education with an overview of Christian theology and a pattern for integrating their faith with their particular disciplines.
