Product description

Review

One of Choice's Outstanding Academic Titles for 2000 Winner of the Thomas N. Bonner Prize "A handy historical overview of an issue that cannot be dismissed as "academic," because it is just too important for understanding who we are and where we are going."--Peter Heinegg, America "The Sacred and the Secular University is a balanced and well-reasoned contribution to one of the major themes of American higher education. Full of drama, characters, and plot ... [it] provides insights into what may be the defining movement within American higher education history."--J. Gregory Behle, History of Education Quarterly "This is a masterful study. In a mere 122 pages of text, it gets to the heart of the secularizing impulse in higher education. This is intellectual history at its finest, written in engaging, accessible ... and witty prose about matters that are central to intellectual life. For those of us who live in the academy, this is our history. It should be required reading."--Joel A. Carpenter, American Historical Review "This concise, well-argued book offers an important glimpse into the historical production of knowledge and the changing place of religion in the university."--Amy Johnson Frykholm, Religious Studies Review

From the Back Cover

"A brief, highly readable survey of the de-Christianization of the American academy that should attract a wide readership among historians of education, science, and religion."--Ronald Numbers, University of Wisconsin

"The issues of religion in public life and the role of religion in colleges are receiving a lot of attention today. This book makes a significant contribution to those discussions."--Wayne Proudfoot, Columbia University
