The first intensive, close-up investigation of the practice and
teaching of religion at American colleges and universities,
"Religion on Campus" is an indispensable resource for all who want
to understand what religion really means to today's undergraduates.
To explore firsthand how college students understand, practice,
and learn about religion, the authors visited four very different
U.S. campuses: a Roman Catholic university in the East, a state
university in the West, a historically black university in the
South, and a Lutheran liberal arts college in the North. They
interviewed students, faculty members, and administrators; attended
classes; participated in worship services; observed prayer and
Bible study groups; and surveyed the general ethos of each campus.
The resulting study makes fascinating and important reading for
anyone--including students, parents, teachers, administrators,
clergy, and scholars--concerned with the future of young
Americans.
Challenging theories of the secularization of higher education
and the decline of religion on campus, this book reveals that both
the practice and the study of religion are thriving, nourished by a
campus culture of diversity, tolerance, and choice.
