Review Of James Tunstead Burtchaell's The Dying Of The Light: The Disengagement Of Colleges And Universities From Their Christian Churches, Ken Badley
Faculty Publications - College of Education
The thesis that colleges founded by churches eventually cut the cord and drift into secularity is no longer news in discussions of American higher education.

Foreword In George Fox's 'Book Of Miracles', Paul N. Anderson
Faculty Publications - George Fox School of Theology
Most people who are familiar with the writings of George Fox know either his Journal or his letters.
