As a nation searches for an island of peace, a break from the pressures of the world, some complete their search, eking out such a hiatus for themselves. By consent of administration, faculty, and students, Lipscomb limits itself to its own confidence in Christian values and God’s truth. It provides a brief respite in the quick pace of maturity, a respite in which the student can reflect, can gain a sense of per- spective and establish a sense of direction. 12 Prologue

But our commonwealth is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will change our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power which enables him even to subject all things to himself.” — Philippians 3:20-21 At such a time, the Christian steps back to reflect on his heritage — a heritage far older and richer than that of one nation. For the Christian heritage is as rich as the heritage of mankind itself — or richer, since the Christian heritage stretches back to the foundations of time. The Christian heritage is God’s master plan for mankind, worked out through the slow process of maturing. Made in God’s image, imbued with the dignity of causality, with freedom of choice, man grows. He grows into conscious obedience, a reasoned approach to life, and to God. Prologue 11
