Revisiting The Resilience of Religion in American Higher Education: The Argument and an Update
Abstract
The dominant approach to the history of higher education has privileged the story of secularization. The Resilience of Religion in American Higher Education presents a different narrative, emphasizing heightened attention to religion in the academy, the revitalization of religious colleges, and the diversification of student religious life. This article summarizes the argument of the 2018 book and provides an update in light of the events of the past five years, including the impact of COVID-19 and the persistence of systemic racism in American society.
