- Summary:
- Scholars of education explore divergences and convergences of secular and religious worldviews in higher education in the US. Among their topics are why teaching about religion is not enough, how important spirituality is in understanding the interior life of faculty, inviting atheists to the table, the struggles of an evangelical scholar teaching the Enlightenment in world history, non-majority religious perspectives among entering first-year college students, religious particularity and pluralism at colleges related to the Presbyterian Church, and exploring spiritual engagement at secular Knox College.
