I agree that Christian higher education is in poor condition, a situation in many respects due to our love affair with premillenial Rapture theology (another discussion for another day)

That's a non-sequitor.

The decline in Christian higher education, IMHO, started when Harvard went secular. That happened well before Scofield popularized the pre-trib rapture.

The theology of a premillenial Rapture allows Christians to abdicate their responsibility to build and maintain Christian culture. It is an aggravating factor in the equation. What the root cause is I'll leave for you or others to decide.

Pre-millenial should be Pre-trib...as you have stated. I stand corrected.
