영문 초록 What makes a university or college Christian? What differentiates Christian universities and colleges from their secular counterparts? In general, Christian universities and colleges are erected by a Christian denomination, have a chapel and department of religious studies, and offer classes in the Christian liberal arts. But more important thing than these external features are the internal aspects or the content of the related higher education. In this article I have posited four elements pertaining to the identity of a Christian university and college: Firstly, the goals of higher education and the Christian concept of higher education are reinterpreted and contextualized in the new social and cultural situation. Further, the Christian concept of higher education has to be embodied and embedded in the official curriculum, and can not merely be rhetoric in the institution`s statute or mission statement. Secondly, the institution`s teachers and administrators have to share a common vision of Christian higher education and commit themselves to it. Consequently, their calling should be reviewed and renewed and their efforts for integrating the faith and learning encouraged. Thirdly, there needs to be fostered a Christian atmosphere and ethos within the campus culture, because education is exercised not only in the classroom and in the approved curriculum but Christian formation also occurs outside the classroom. Therefore, the institution needs to promote related extra curricular student activities and informal meetings and discussions between teachers and students. Lastly, universities and churches need to have complementary relationships and linkages. The separation of Christian universities and colleges from the church results in an alienation from their spiritual roots. The churches can also help the university and college by financially sponsoring and sending Christian students to these higher education institutions.
