Cuninggim Continues What He Started in 1978

Students of church-related higher education have good reason to thank Merrimon Cuninggim. From the middle '40s until his recent death, Cuninggim traced the relationship between "church" and "college". In this work, Cuninggim leaves behind the awkward categories of church-relatedness ("Proclaiming College", "Embodying College") and plumbs more deeply what it means for a denomination to work with a church-related university. The reader will enjoy his cool-headed discussion. One wishes Cuninggim were more thorough in his assignment of colleges to particular denominations (he misplaces several colleges)and that he examined Marsden's views (The Soul of the American University) with more care. Otherwise, an important addition to the literature.
