‘Finally, a book that takes on the difference Christianity might or should make for how the disciplines of the university are pursued. This is essential reading for Christian and non-Christian alike.' - Stanley Hauerwas, Gilbert T. Rowe Professor of Theological Ethics, Duke Divinity School, USA.

The Religion and the University series aims to facilitate a creative and imaginative role for the Christian theological perspective within the university setting, working from the premise that religious culture can make a valuable contribution to wider university education.
