Summary

"A brief, highly readable survey of the de-Christianization of the American academy that should attract a wide readership among historians of education, science, and religion."--Ronald Numbers, University of Wisconsin "The issues of religion in public life and the role of religion in colleges are receiving a lot of attention today.
