MARS HILL AUDIO Book 7
The Passionate Intellect by Norman Klassen and Jens Zimmermann
In The Passionate Intellect: Incarnational Humanism and the Future of University Education, Norman Klassen and Jens Zimmermann trace the history of higher education from its medieval roots to the present, focusing on how educational agendas have been assembled in light of shifting understandings of the nature of knowledge and the nature of human well-being. They demonstrate that some form of humanism has always been central to the purposes of higher education, and insist that the recovery of a rich, Christocentric Christian humanism is the only way for the university to recover a coherent purpose.
