The public university classroom is a place where socialization
still occurs: it's where students learn to be citizens of the
world. Having attended to political correctness and
multi-culturalism, universities are now facing the issue of
spirituality in their quest to educate the whole person. In this
book, Chris Anderson takes up this task by carefully exploring how
a professor of faith can help a public university accomplish its
pluralistic mission. Anderson illustrates how the study of secular
literature throws fresh light on the ways in which the Bible can be
read. He also deftly shows how a sympathetic study of the Bible
trains secular readers for understanding the abiding significance
of the Western literary canon as a kind of scripture. Anderson thus
gives readers a book that is as much about the experience of a
faithful teacher and the proper ends of education as it is about
discovering the right ways to read texts-be they sacred or secular.
