Produced in honor of Calvin G. Seerveld, this volume highlights Seerveld’s legacy as a scholar, teacher, and cultural leader even as it breaks new ground in the fields of cultural theory and aesthetics.
The introduction discusses the importance of Seerveld’s contributions to the study of the arts and culture, summarizes the essays in this collection, and relates them to themes in Seerveld’s work. The volume’s fourteen essays extend Seerveld’s efforts to new areas and probe the traditions on which his efforts rely. An open letter from Nicholas Wolterstorff and a bibliography of Seerveld’s writings begin and conclude the volume. United by the cross-fertilizing of theory, criticism, and history, and sharing a concern to help transform culture through Christian scholarship, all of these essays make a fitting tribute to Seerveld, a Reformational interdisciplinarian par excellence.

A Vision with a Task: Christian Schooling for Responsive Discipleship
Co-authors: Gloria Stronks (Coordinator), Doug Blomberg (Editor), Bob Koole, Peter de Boer, Steve Vryhof and Harro Van Brummelen.

A Vision with a Task is a “how to” book for Christian schools, though the “hows” are clearly rooted in the “whys”. Written by a team of teacher-scholars working together for a year at the Calvin Center for Christian Scholarship, this is now considered a classic text for Christian educators. Co-authors Gloria Stronks (Coordinator), Doug Blomberg (Editor), Bob Koole, Peter de Boer, Steve Vryhof and Harro Van Brummelen imagined two schools – a well-established suburban one and its newer, downtown annexe – as sites in which to explore practical ways of advancing Christian discipleship formation across the spectrum of learning. Conversations among fictional teachers intersperse more didactic text, mirroring the rhythm of learning espoused in the book, that of “play, problem-posing, purposeful response.” This “rhythm” is also a model for curriculum, and has been employed in a number of locations, including by the Ontario Alliance of Christian Schools. Wisdom and Curriculum is in many respects a sequel to this book.
An abridged version of this book has been published in Mandarin and a Spanish translation is currently being prepared.
