Faithful Learning: A Vision for Theologically Integrated Education

by Jacob Shatzer

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.

This is such a solid book if you are looking for a theological primer, a basic walk-through of the main Christian beliefs. The integration with education is more of an addendum to each chapter by different professionals in different fields - and kind of ties the theoretical a bit with the practical. What I liked most is that everything that is covered is covered so well without any fluff. It is straight to the core in a clear way, to show what most Christians believe without delving into the fringes. I really liked it, although it is not a book I would necessarily read again - I could use it as a source of reference, to check the core beliefs and how they are backed in those cases where it is needed.

Good, basic intro to orthodox Christian doctrine and an excellent model for biblical integration in education.
