| This collection challenges predominant assumptions that open discussion of spirituality should be silenced rather than encouraged; that religious beliefs should be discarded rather than examined or deepened; or that “higher” education in particular means moving beyond faith to reason. The aim is to break the enormous silence on spirituality be opening up more opportunities (pedagogical, theoretical, institutional) for thoughtful inquiry into the sources, forms, and consequences of students’ worldviews. Contributors explore ways to think, write, and teach about the interplay between intellectual and religious pursuits, for themselves and for their students. Year: 2000 Pages: 224 |
