"This timely and wide-ranging collection of essays provides an
invaluable introduction to ongoing conversations about the place of
religion in undergraduate education. If, as the editors contend, we
are on the cusp of a 'postsecular' era, then I can think of no
better guide to the shifting academic terrain." --Carol Geary
Schneider, President of the Association of American Colleges and
Universities

"This collection of essays engenders admiration for the freshly
renovated parlor in which faith and reason, religion and science
may converse. It accentuates the 'stimulating cultural mosaic'
which has fostered recent openness to and tolerance of religious
discourse in higher education...A hopeful volume underscoring the
fact that religion and spirituality are not dead on arrival at
college, but alive and bursting with hope." --Teaching Theology

Religion
