No Longer Invisible by Rhonda Hustedt Jacobsen
Drawing on interviews with hundreds of university professors, co-curricular educators, administrators, and students from public and private colleges and universities across the United States, Douglas and Rhonda Hustedt Jacobsen demonstrate that religion is essential for the work of higher education in the twenty-first century.
No Longer Invisible opens a comprehensive window into a decades worth of debates and experiments about whether and how to integrate religion into college lifeThe reader will find an excellent synthesis of current thinking among higher education scholars over the role of religion in higher education, and they may glean insights from its description of the novel programs that some universities are undertaking to engage with religion more fully. * Damon Mayrl, Sociology of Religion *
The Jorgensen's overall treatment is sophisticated and well informed; their assessments for the future of university religion are realistic, plural and optimistic. Far from being a narrow, denominationally focused account of a limited set of Christian traditions in a limited variety of campus engagements, theirs is a serious, wide-ranging contribution to religion and the university debates. * Peter Hampson, Theology *
I highly recommend this book. It is remarkably inclusive, elegantly and persuasively written, and eminently practical. * Jonathan P. Hill, Journal of Contemporary Religion, *
it makes for a solid contribution to the growing body of literature on the increasing significance of religion in higher education. * Wesley Null, Journal of Church & State *
