Religion is already an active agent in higher education, in the lives of teachers and students, as well as in the world that higher education is designed to explain and serve. This book informs, challenges and inspires its readers as it weakens the facile distinctions between religious and secular thought."--Lee S.

Religion thrives now, both as a subject of study and as a personal quest. College graduates now are more religiously observant than non-attenders, and there has been a major outpouring of religiously focused scholarship and art. This book is a tour de force, a major synthesis of decades of : $ The only figures which indicate the growing religious diversity of the higher education population are those which deal with the ethnic background of students.

Finally, the volume chronicles the diversification of student religious life, revealing the longevity of campus spirituality. fundamentalist Christian sects, who almost uniformly eschewed higher education in previous generations, are now living in the same dormitories with liberal Protestants, Catholics, Jews, and an increasingly diverse array of non-Christians.

Book Description. This title was first published in The place of religion in universities and institutes of higher education has become increasingly topical and contested in recent years, largely due to the growth of religious diversity on campus. Education and religion are often seen to be incompatible.
There is an underlying notion inside the liberal education establishment that religious belief is backwards and contrary to enlightenment. Schools have long been viewed as gateways to a glorious secular and technological future, free of religious superstition.
Book Description. This edited collection helps those teaching religion in higher education utilize technology to increase student learning both inside and outside of the classroom.

This volume attempts to address the problems currently facing denomination-affiliated institutions of higher education, beginning with an introduction to government aid and the regulation of religious 5/5(1).Book Description.
