The Idea of a Christian College, by Arthur Holmes is a wealth of knowledge and wisdom that should be heeded by Christian professors and students alike. ... I agree with HolmesĄŻ justification for Christian liberal arts education, as presented to me in his book.
Throughout the book, Holmes makes numerous points as to the validation for the existence of a Christ-centered college, and that of liberal education as a whole. Although I agree with his concepts and ideas, I think if a book is written from a Christian point of view, it should make reference to the word of God as its foremost inspiration. ...
When I first began to read The Idea of a Christian College, I was in initial disagreement with some of his points. As he begins his book, he goes through numerous reasons not to attend or support liberal education. ... His intention here is not to conclude that liberal education should not exist. ... The point I couldnĄŻt swallow at first was his explanation of the social and extracurricular benefits of liberal education. He makes the obvious point that I can achieve similar goals without even attending a liberal arts college.
