An Interview with David Dockery

There are few people I respect and admire more than Dr. David S. Dockery, the 15th president of Trinity International University. He is the subject of a recent Festschrift, Convictional Civility: Engaging the Culture in the 21st Century, Essays in Honor of David S. Dockery (B&H, 2015)

We recently sat down for a conversation about the state of Christian higher education, the series he edits for Crossway, and his advice for future leaders.

00:18 – How long have you been involved with Christian higher education?
01:56 – How have you seen Christian higher education change over the years?
05:01 – What is the current state of Christian higher education?
09:51 – What is the Reclaiming the Christian Intellectual Tradition series?
12:07 – How do you envision the Reclaiming the Christian Intellectual Tradition series being used?
14:46 – What advice would you give to potential leaders?
