Synopsis

The central claim of this volume is that higher education institutions that seek to educate their students for freedom and liberation?the idea behind the liberal arts?must be prepared to embrace the truths they pursue and to lean into the reconciliation demanded by those truths. In other words, they must journey through truth to freedom, but only by way of reconciliation.

For Augsburg University, the truths interrogated delve deep into the heart of its faith tradition, academic mission, and commitment to social justice. Through appreciative and critical inquiry, the truths discovered demand reconciliation with the past so as to be freed for the work they are called to do as "informed citizens, thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers, and responsible leaders"?Augsburg's mission! These essays offer a compelling example to other institutions about the important work of connecting past, present, and future?of seeking truth through freedom by way of reconciliation?work that is foundational to an institution's mission, identity, and future planning.
