The Secularization of the Academy (Religion in America) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Bringing together eleven new essays--most published here for the first time--on the secularization of American, British, and Canadian higher education, this text maps some of the major contours of a largely unexplored topic. It focuses on the histories of leading universities since the late nineteenth century, analyzing the transition from an era when organized Christianity and its ideals had a major role in leading institutions of higher education to an era when they have almost none. A comprehensive look into the religious roots of education, this unique new text will be an essential resource for courses in religious studies and the history of education.
