Before opening up for discussion, John will give an overview of his book of this title, which wrestles with the question: what difference might it make to approach all the various tasks of being an academic in a 21st century university from the perspective of Christian faith? 

Professor Sullivan reflects on themes from his book The Christian Academic in Higher Education: The Consecration of Learning (Palgrave Macmillan, 2018) and then engages with colleagues in discussion.
