Increasing numbers of young adults go to university. This book
explores contemporary understandings of what universities are for,
what impact they might be having on their students, and what
visions of life and society are driving them. It criticises a
narrow view of higher education which focuses on serving the
economy. It argues that, for the sake of the common and individual
good, universities need to be about forming citizens and societies
as well as being an economic resource. It does so in the light of
theological perspectives mainly from the Christian but also from
the Muslim faith, and has a global as well as a British
perspective. It brings together key thinkers in theology and higher
education policy - including Rowan Williams, David Ford, Mike
Higton, and Peter Scott - to present a unique perspective on
institutions which help shape the lives of millions.
