Professing in the Postmodern Academy examines the landscape of religiously affiliated higher education in America from the perspective of faculty members critically committed to the future of church-related institutions. The book includes articles on a variety of topics from members of the Rhodes Consultation on the Future of Church-Related College, a project that has involved ninety church-related institutions since 1996.
...introduces the reader to the wide range of literature on church-related education that has emerged over the past fifty years. Steve Haynes's 'Introduction' alone is worth the price of the book. -- Teaching Theology and Religion
This is a volume that faculty at church-related colleges should read and discuss. -- Religious Studies Review
Professing in the Postmodern Academy is an informative, thoughtful, question-raising study which is highly recommended reading--especially for all who attend or contribute to a religious college. -- Library Bookwatch
Despite fears from some quarters, the end of the Enlightenment objectivity need not lead to relativism. Instead, as Professing in the Postmodern Academy so ably shows, it can result in an appreciation for the limitations of any single human perspective and a renewed appreciation for the Church. -- Perspectives in Religious Studies
