If the secular university by definition is non-sectarian or
non-denominational, then how can it accommodate a discipline like
Christian theology? Doesn't the traditional goal of theological
study, which is to attain knowledge of the divine, fundamentally
conflict with the main goal of secular academic study, which is to
attain knowledge about ourselves and the world in which we live? So
why should theology be admitted, or even care about being admitted,
into secular academic life? And even if theology were admitted,
what contribution to secular academic life could it make? Working
from a Christian philosophical and theological perspective but also
engaging a wide range of theologians, philosophers, and religious
studies scholars, Christian Theology and the Secular University
takes on these questions, arguing that Christian theology does
belong in the secular university because it provides distinct
resources that the secular university needs if it is going to
fulfill what should be its main epistemic and educative ends. This
book offers a fresh and unique perspective to scholars working in
the disciplines of theology, philosophy, and religious studies, and
to those in other academic disciplines who are interested in
thinking critically and creatively about the place and nature of
theological study within the secular university.
