Book Description
In this book the fullness of the Baptist experience in Christian higher education is explored, charted, and analyzed. Beginning with the establishment in 1756 of the Academy and reaching to the present the author explores the need for Baptists to pursue education and the types of schools they founded. Included are colleges, universities, manual labor schools, literary and theological institutions, theological schools, and bible colleges. Special attention is given to women and higher education and the Black Baptist achievements. Details are provided about what makes a Baptist school Baptist: charters, trustees, presidents, support, church accountability. Chapters at the end of the typological and chronological narratives ponder the meaning of denominational education at present, with suggestions about the future of faith-based institutions and the failure of contemporary literature to attend properly to Baptist idiosyncrasies.

Book Description
In Jars of Clay is an edifying, elegantly literate piece, offering a sensitive look into the heart of a pastor's calling. In In Jars of Clay, Kruger writes, "These reflections touch on a variety of subjects relating to the personal, pastoral, and spiritual needs of ministry. They provide no easy answers, for if there is one thing I have learned, it is difficult enough just to learn the questions." With warmth and wisdom, Kruger's reflections resonate with the profound simplicity of this realization. His meditations on the roundness of life and one's experience with God employ parables and imagery of Kruger's own that gracefully explore the considerations of the clergy, from personal exhortation to the care of the parish. In Jars of Clay is at once lighthearted and earnest, contemporary as well as rooted in rich tradition.
