Vulnerability and Self-Giving in Christian Teaching and Learning -- Chapter 12. The Consecration of Learning.This book offers a Christian engagement with the realities of academic life and work. Examining this topic from intellectual, institutional and spiritual perspectives, the author explores how the two identities – as a Christian and an academic – can both coexist and complement one another. The author provides a ‘road map’ for academics demonstrating the interaction between religious faith and the responsibilities, challenges and opportunities of university scholarship and teaching. Addressing questions such as the contentious nature of religious faith in the university environment, the expression of faith within the role of professor, and the consequences of consecrating oneself to learning, this pioneering and practical volume will be relevant to Christian scholars in any academic discipline.Religion and sociologyEducationPhilosophySociology of ReligionEducational PhilosophyPhilosophy of EducationReligion and sociology.EducationPhilosophy.Sociology of Religion.Educational Philosophy.Philosophy of Education.200.71Sullivan Johnauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut188870BOOK9910299514103321The Christian Academic in Higher Education2517844UNINA
