These papers investigate various dimensions of the legacy of China?s historic The Christian Universities which continues to inspire higher education reform in China even in the twenty-first century. This book focuses on Christian Universities, which fostered a particularly notable Liberal Arts Education in the Chinese context. Besides embracing some ideals in common with Liberal Arts Education developed in the West, their Liberal Arts Education curriculum had an emphasis on readings in the classics, history, philosophy, religion, ethics, and literature which conveyed traditional Chinese values. The Christian Universities also shared a strong commitment to moral formation, community service, and global citizenship education. This book emphasizes Liberal Arts Education that focused on the whole person, where academic knowledge, skills, and character were equally valued. The book presents distinctive characteristics of the study of Christian higher education in China and the interplay between globalization and localization. 410 0$aEast-West Crosscurrents in Higher Education,$x2364-6829 606 $aChristian universities and colleges 606 $aEducation and globalization 606 $aEducation, Higher$xAims and objectives 606 $aEducation, Humanistic 606 $aUniversitats catòliques$2thub 606 $aEducació superior$2thub 606 $aFinalitats de l'educació$2thub 606 $aEducació humanística$2thub 606 $aGlobalització$2thub 607 $aXina$2thub 608 $aLlibres electrònics$2thub 615 0$aChristian universities and colleges. 615 0$aEducation and globalization. 615 0$aEducation, Higher$xAims and objectives. 615 0$aEducation, Humanistic. 615 7$aUniversitats catòliques 615 7$aEducació superior 615 7$aFinalitats de l'educació 615 7$aEducació humanística 615 7$aGlobalització 676 $a378.071 700 $aWu$b Ziming$01155781 702 $aMou$b Leping 702 $aHayhoe$b Ruth 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910720091903321 996 $aLiberal Arts and the Legacy of China's Christian Universities$93417694 997 $aUNINA
