Particularly in classroom settings, my colleagues and I at SPU have sometimes found it difficult to claim holiness as a vital feature of the institutional mission of our university. The difficulty partly rests on the stereotypes surrounding holiness as well as the teleological ambiguity related to Christian higher education more generally. For this reason, we have put together Holiness as a Liberal Art as a text to aid us and others in claiming the vital role that Christian colleges and universities have in making disciples for God’s kingdom. We hope the text can especially help those institutions that historically have something at stake in claiming a holiness identity.
