AN ENDURING MISSION

All

Within the Context of the Christian Gospel

In his essay, “Lutheran Higher Education in the Twenty-first Century,” Mark Schwehn captures the heart of a Lutheran approach to higher education: One must always operate with one eye on the God who loves the world and the other on the world that God loves. The more firmly for the Lutheran that the eye of faith rests upon God, the more fervently the eye of reason can acknowledge, celebrate, and seek to advance the best of secular learning and the best of university life. 1 1
