The history of higher education in the life and ministry of the Church of God movement is one of high ideals, significant challenges, amazing accomplishments, and sometimes failure. It is a history birthed by God's call to serve the church by equipping its leaders, clergy, and laity. With this book, Barry L. Callen provides a fine and accessible resource for the church. He reminds us that we are created by God to grow in holiness and wholeness, and that the colleges, universities, and seminary of the Church of God around the world exist to facilitate that growth. I thank God for all the men and women who have and still are giving themselves to the great cause of Christian higher education.
