Religion, Scholarship, and Higher Education explores foundational issues surrounding the interaction of religion and the academy in the twenty-first century. Featuring the work of eighteen scholars from diverse institutional, disciplinary, and religious backgrounds, this outstanding collection of essays issues from a three-year Lilly Seminar on Religion and Higher Education. Reflecting the diversity of the seminar participants, this insightful volume presents a wide variety of viewpoints on the role of religion in higher education and different approaches to religiously informed scholarship and teaching.


Religion, Scholarship, and Higher Education is distinct in its orientation toward the personal and the practical. Contributors use personal examples to demonstrate how individual religious beliefs and backgrounds shape the way an educator approaches research and teaching.


The first part of the book addresses foundational issues, offering a range of perspectives on the current state of affairs and future prospects for the interrelation of religion and academic endeavor. Part II treats specific academic disciplines as they relate to religion and research and provides several models of scholarship grounded in or informed by religious traditions. The final section of the volume presents five different approaches to teaching. Contributors reflect on how religious perspectives or commitments influence the way in which they understand their role as university or college teachers and carry out their responsibilities in the classroom.


Sure to capture the interest of scholars, teachers, and administrators alike, this volume features essays from Nicholas Wolterstorff, James Turner, Alan Wolfe, David A. Hollinger, Mark R. Schwehn, John McGreevy, Nancy T. Ammerman, Roger Lundin, Brian E.Daley, S.J., Clarke E. Cochran, Serene Jones, Richard J. Bernstein, Mark A. Noll, Denis Donoghue, Robert Wuthnow, Jean Bethke Elshtain, Susan Handelman, and Francis Oakley.

Andrea Sterk is professor of history at the University of Minnesota.
