Join Chaplaincy Innovation Lab and author James Fraser for a discussion of Fraser’s most recent book, Religion and the American University. From Johns Hopkins University Press:
Once the unifying center of American higher education, religion has undergone a dramatic transformation over the past 220 years. From its origins as the core of a unified understanding of truth as it was taught at the nation’s first colleges to its current presence on the periphery of campus life, religion has both shaped and been shaped by the evolution of the American university. In Religion and the American University, James W. Fraser explores the complex relationship between faith and higher education.
