Opis

"As director of religious life at Amherst College,Paul Sorrentino brings us a first-hand report aboutthe role of religion on today's campuses. Far frombeing marginal, student participation in a variety offaith traditions is strong. But how do collegechaplains honor and recognize the multipleparticularities of each faith tradition whileencouraging hospitable respect between them all? Sorrentino decided to ask the students. And theresults not only call into question many commonassumptions about "inter-faith" relations, but alsoprovide useful guidance for all concerned about therole of religion in American life. This is a fresh,groundbreaking work that rivets our attention frombeginning to end. A must read for every one engagedin ministry in religiously pluralistic educationalsettings." --James F. Kay, Engle Professor ofHomiletics, Princeton Theological Seminary, and theEditor of Theology Today.
