The Christian University & The Academic Establishment is a compelling exploration of the challenges facing Christian higher education in America today. Written by a seasoned professor with nearly four decades of experience, this book delves into the historical and ideological tensions that threaten the identity of Christian universities.

From the origins of academic freedom and tenure to the rise of leftist ideologies like Critical Race Theory and postmodern activism, the author critiques the secular pressures eroding faith-based institutions. Drawing on landmark cases like Dartmouth v. Woodward and the AAUP's 1915 Declaration, the text offers a robust defense of Christian education's unique mission. Blending personal reflection with scholarly analysis, Highfield argues that a true Christian institution must remain an extension of the church's witness, grounded in biblical truth. Ideal for educators, administrators, trustees, and anyone passionate about the future of faith-based learning, this book challenges readers to rethink the purpose of higher education in a secular age.

Perfect for those seeking to preserve a Christian worldview in academia, it's a must-read for navigating the complex landscape of modern universities.
