Education as Transformation:
Religious Pluralism, Spirituality, and a New Vision for Higher Education
in America
Edited by Victor H. Kazanjian, Jr, and Peter L. Laurence
Reflecting a national movement that seeks to create a more holistic model
of learning and teaching on college and university campuses, Education as
Transformation is a collection of twenty-eight essays written by a wide range
of educators--including presidents, chancellors, deans, faculty members,
administrators, religious life professionals, students, and other leaders
in the field of education--on the themes of religious pluralism and spirituality
in higher education. These essays provide scholarly analysis, practical information
and inspiration for those who agree that higher education can combine both
head and heart in the teaching and learning process and in campus and community
life. In seeking to articulate a new vision for higher education in America,
the authors explore the possibility that both scholarship and spirituality
are essential to fostering global learning communities and responsible global
citizens who can address the challenges of a diverse world.
