Publisher's Description
During the twentieth century, theological and religious perspectives have been marginalized, if not utterly excluded in many of our colleges and universities. The essays in this book argue in different ways for the critical, appreciative inclusion of theological and religious perspectives in higher education. The contributors believe that even in our secular, religiously disestablished era, religion and God continue to occupy an important and dynamic role in personal and social life. If our colleges and universities are to fulfill their higher aspirations of educating whole persons for the real world in all of its diversity and challenge, we need to go bravely against the flow and "give God tenure."

“A thought-provoking challenge for academics to consider the place of theological and religious perspectives in education. These essays are an excellent resource for reading and consideration by people from all faiths or by those who do not practice any faith but are interested in higher education. The authors raise issues that are rarely discussed but are critical for the future of higher education.”
