HIGHER “CHRISTIAN” EDUCATION— WHAT SHOULD YOU EXPECT YOUR CHILD TO BE TAUGHT?
By Dub McClish
Introduction
In his helpful, but obsolete book on the history of “Christian Colleges” (1836–1949), the late M. Norvel Young astutely observed:
Two fundamental dangers recognized by students of the Christian college movement are these: The schools might become organically united with the church, which would not be after the New Testament pattern, and thus gradually dominate the church. On the other hand there is the danger that there may develop too wide a gulf between the schools and the church and that the schools may not be kept close to the fundamental principles which the Bible teaches (33).
