| Summary: | First published in 1997, 'The Outrageous Idea of Christian Scholarship' is a landmark work that offered a bold call to re-establish Christian perspectives in academia. While other defining elements of a scholar's identity, such as race or gender, are routinely welcomed as providing valued points of view, the perspectives of believing Christians are sometimes dismissed as irrelevant - or, worse, antithetical - to the scholarly enterprise. George M. Marsden argues forcefully that academia is enriched by encouraging religious diversity. For this edition, Marsden has added a new preface as well as an entirely new chapter reflecting on the changing landscape of academia in the quarter century since the book first appeared. |
