Religion, Scholarship, and Higher Education explores foundational
issues surrounding the interaction of religion and the academy in
the twenty-first century. Featuring the work of eighteen scholars
from diverse institutional, disciplinary, and religious
backgrounds, this outstanding collection of essays issues from a
three-year Lilly Seminar on Religion and Higher Education.
Reflecting the diversity of the seminar participants, this
insightful volume presents a wide variety of viewpoints on the role
of religion in higher education and different approaches to
religiously informed scholarship and teaching.
Religion, Scholarship, and Higher Education is distinctive in
its orientation toward the personal and the practical. Contributors
use personal examples to demonstrate how individual religious
beliefs and backgrounds shape the way an educator approaches
research and teaching.
The first part of the book addresses foundational issues,
offering a range of perspectives on the current state of affairs
and future prospects for the interrelation of religion and academic
endeavor. Part II treats specific academic disciplines as they
relate to religion and research and provides several models of
scholarship grounded in or informed by religious traditions. The
final section of the volume presents five different approaches to
teaching. Contributors reflect on how religious perspectives or
commitments influence the way in which they understand their role
as university or college teachers and carry out their
responsibilities in the classroom.
