Description
"No better study of theological education has been written." - Brooks Holifield, Charles Howard Candler Professor of American Church History, Emory University. A truly magisterial book...marvelously informative as well as a joy to read." - Winton U. Solberg, University of Illinois. Conrad Cherry's historical analysis of American Protestant university-related divinity schools tells their story in terms of four powerful social and cultural forces that decisively influenced American higher education in general and Protestant theological education in particular: specialization, professionalization, social reform, and pluralism.
