Religious Pluralism: What Do College Students Think?

A Study at Amherst College

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

"As director of religious life at Amherst College,
Paul Sorrentino brings us a first-hand report about
the role of religion on today's campuses. Far from
being marginal, student participation in a variety of
faith traditions is strong. But how do college
chaplains honor and recognize the multiple
particularities of each faith tradition while
encouraging hospitable respect between them all?
Sorrentino decided to ask the students. And the
results not only call into question many common
assumptions about "inter-faith" relations, but also
provide useful guidance for all concerned about the
role of religion in American life. This is a fresh,
groundbreaking work that rivets our attention from
beginning to end. A must read for every one engaged
in ministry in religiously pluralistic educational
settings." --James F. Kay, Engle Professor of
Homiletics, Princeton Theological Seminary, and the
Editor of Theology Today.
