Abstract

Objective: Quality assurance represents a critical mechanism for Christian education institutions striving to harmonize spiritual mission with academic vigor. This study explores the intellectual structure, thematic themes, and research trajectories of quality assurance in Christian education between 2013 and 2024. Methods: Utilizing bibliometric analysis and science mapping via VosViewer, the study evaluates publication trends, citation networks, co-citations, and author-keyword co-occurances.  Results: Scholarly output fluctuated with peaks in 2014–2015 and 2020, followed by a recent downward trajectory. Authors from 18 nations contributed to the literature, led prominently by the United Kingdom, the United States, and the Netherlands. The thematic overlay reveals an intellectual progression from macro-governance and policy toward operational frameworks, total quality management, and learning repositories. Novelty: This research presents the first comprehensive longitudinal science mapping of quality assurance specifically contextualized within faith-based education. It identifies critical underexplored areas—namely empirical investigations and corporate environmental management—providing institutional leaders and scholars with a quantitative baseline to align global quality standards with Christian institutional mission. The study propose further studies on quality assurance in Christian education
