Ideas editor Kara Bettis Carvalho: I grew up listening to my parents’ friends tell nostalgic stories of Barrington College, which merged into Gordon College around the time that my mom attended in the 1980s. I remember thinking, That would be sad to lose your college as you know it. Two decades later, I am now repeating history. I often find myself sharing fond memories of attending The King’s College, which just closed officially this year. |
As Christian schools and Bible schools shutter, it’s easy to feel sad or nostalgic. But their legacy lives on through the faithful ministry of many Christians, as reflects Carmen Joy Imes in her piece for CT. And at the same time, other schools are doing well. Carmen herself attended a Bible college that is now closed, but she’s teaching at a Christian school that is flourishing. Christian colleges continue to adapt and change to meet the challenges of the moment. And whether closing or thriving, their work educating young Christians has a lasting impact. |

August 28, 430: As Vandals invade Roman North Africa and overwhelm Hippo refugees, Augustine dies of a fever. Miraculously, his writings, including City of God survived the Vandal takeover, and his theology became one of the main pillars on which the church of the next 1,000 years was built (see issue 67:Augustine). |

As developments in artificial intelligence change daily, we’re increasingly asking what makes humanity different from the machines we use. In this issue, Emily Belz introduces us to tech workers on the frontlines of AI development, Harvest Prude explains how algorithms affect Christian courtship, and Miroslav Volf writes on the transhumanist question. Several writers call our attention to the gifts of being human: Haejin and Makoto Fujimura point us to beauty and justice, Kelly Kapic reminds us God’s highest purpose isn’t efficiency, and Jen Pollock Michel writes on the effects of Alzheimer’s . We bring together futurists, theologians, artists, practitioners, and professors to consider how technology shapes us even as we use it. |
