Each month, we feature a book from the Lumina College Library handpicked by our librarian. This month's Book of the Month is:
Title: To Think Christianly: A History of L'Abri, Regent College, and the Christian Study Center Movement
Publisher: InterVarsity Press
Author: Charles E. Cotherman
Synopsis
In this compelling and comprehensive history, Charles Cotherman traces the stories of notable study centers and networks, as well as their influence on a generation that would reshape twentieth-century Christianity.
Each of these projects owed something to Schaeffer's and Houston's approaches, which combined intellectual and cultural awareness with compelling spirituality, open-handed hospitality, relational networks, and a deep commitment to the gospel's significance for all fields of study―and all of life. Cotherman argues that the centers' mission of lay theological education blazed a new path for evangelicals to fully engage the life of the mind and culture.
Built on a rich foundation of original interviews, archival documents, and contemporary sources, To Think Christianly sheds new light on this set of defining figures and places in evangelicalism's life of the mind.
