The Liberal Arts in Higher Education synopsis

Liberal arts in higher education launch an institutional effort to create a common definition and articulate liberal arts and liberal education by expanding centuries-old dialogue to the campus of the mixed Christian University of Azusa. The book contains "working" definitions of key terms, including: liberal arts, liberal education, trivium, quartet, liberalism, public education and a brief review of five models of liberal education. He also describes five permanent debates on liberal education: the relationship between moral and intellectual virtue, disciplinary division between science and humanity, the relationship between liberal and liberal education and the postmodern challenge to traditional understanding of liberal education. Four original articles explore the scope and nature of liberal education, while ten critical reviews discuss some of the most cited works on the subject.

These articles provide a philosophical assessment of the past and present nature of liberal education as well as suggestions on how to redesign Christian liberal education.
