The Soul of the American University: From Protestant Establishment to Established Nonbelief Paperback - 1996 - 1st Edition
by George M. Marsden
- Used
- Good
- Paperback
Only a century ago, almost all state universities held compulsory chapel services, and some required Sunday church attendance as well. Far from a lament for a lost golden age when mainline Protestants ruled America, The Soul of the American University offers a penetrating critique of that era, exploring how and why the once pervasive influence of religion in the intellectual and cultural life of America's preeminent colleges and universities has vanished.
