"Religion on Campus is an important book for two rea- sons: it challenges simple views about the seculariza- tion of higher education, and it proves once again that careful ethnographic observation reveals a 'lived religious presence' armchair theorists often miss. The book deserves a wide readership." Wade Clark Roof, author of Spiritual Marketplace: Baby Boomers and the Remaking of American Religion "Religion on Campus provides striking firsthand infor- mation that calls into question the gloomy analyses presented in recent books about the secularization of American higher education. Through careful ethno- graphic case studies, the authors show us that con- temporary students are interested in spirituality and for the most part seem to be finding ways of express- ing this interest through coursework and other cam- pus activities. Yet the apparent superficiality of these students' religious understanding is also a lesson that educators will need to ponder seriously."
