5.0 out of 5 stars
Great book, great professor.,
This review is from: Teaching as Believing: Faith in the University (Studies in Religion and Higher Education) (Paperback)
I've taken a class from Chris Anderson, and read this book. Both well worth the money. I also attended his church to hear a couple of his homilies (even though I am not Catholic), and they were very relevant and spiritually sound. If you want to get a good idea of how religion and secular institutions can intersect in a positive way, this a great book to begin with.
