Big Questions, Worthy Dreams

Discipleship & Christian Education

“Parks’s clear voice in Big Questions, Worthy Dreams is simultaneously that of a scholar, clinician, ethicist, and priest—that of a rare and capable generalist who can nurture both teachers and students . . . [and] reveal the architecture of the process by which we merge the questions of ultimate reality with the immediate needs and duties of our generation. Stunningly transparent. Essential insight.”

Religious Diversity and University Chaplaincy

World Religions

“A nation with architectural and legal capacity to welcome and protect religious identity was radically framed into the eighteenth-century blueprint of the United States. Gregory McGonigle’s insightful new ethnography, Religious Diversity and University Chaplaincy, captures essential twenty-first-century work to construct multifaith academic chaplaincies. We hear from hidden visionaries and designers who now illuminate the nation’s original manuscripts and secure campus space for burgeoning spiritual, cultural, and ethnic diversity amid swift currents of global and national politics.”
