Abstract:
One hundred and seventy years ago, on 17 July 1816, the Society for the Promotion of Theological Education in Harvard University was established, thus beginning a process that led to the founding of a “faculty of theology” or Theological Seminary at the University. Undergraduate education at Harvard College had by this time moved quite far from the founders' original concern to provide a literate ministry to the churches. By the beginning of the nineteenth century Harvard men were educated in a broad curriculum oriented more toward liberal education than professional training. So the theologic

This article is about the nexus of Shi'ia doctrine with academia which will justify its positive role for US society. We see that Shi'ia Diaspora has sought the attention of international scholars towards the part of Shi'ism in the twentieth century as previously not much work has been done on this topic. Still, in upcoming years many renowned scholars have put in their effort and interest in Shi'ism, many are from the US, and numerous universities have started working on Shi'ism and what role it impacts on a country's society, politics and economy.

This study explores the present state of teaching Interfaith/Interreligious Relations at universities in the Arab Middle East. First, it considers the definition and various approaches to teaching Interfaith Relations by leading proponents of Interreligious Studies in the West such as Oddbjørn Leirvik and Marianne Moyaert within a theoretical framework that is sensitive to the Arab Middle Eastern context. It explores several key factors in Arab society that have prevented the teaching of Interfaith Relations in universities. The discussion then turns to the unique Dar Al-Kalima University (Pal

Abstract:
The Soul of the American University Revisited traces the role of Protestantism in shaping American higher education from the founding of Harvard in the 1630s to the present. It offers a critical analysis of the changing ways in which Protestantism intersected with collegiate life, intellectual inquiry, and broader cultural developments. In accounts that have been edited and somewhat abridged for this second edition, it looks at pace-setting colleges and universities as they coped with modern society, post-Darwinian science, new secular philosophies, and increasing diversity in American life.

“I have hitherto discouraged all proposals to make Princeton College a university,” President McCosh told the trustees in June of 1885. “I am of the opinion,” he went on to announce, “that the time has now come for considering the question.” Seizing the momentum from what many in Princeton considered a victorious debate with Harvard’s Charles W. Eliot, McCosh launched a formal campaign to make the College of New Jersey a university. He promised that his forthcoming paper, “What an American University Should Be,” would fully explain how and why the board should take this next logical “step” in

Abstract:
Abstract Once we have seen the extent to which the rest of New England’s higher education establishment moved in a functionally unitarian or even Jeffersonian direction as it adjusted to the demands and promises of a complex modern society, we can see one reason why by the end of the century Harvard could readily reclaim its national leadership. Of course its superior age and wealth, as well as the literary prominence of many of its graduates, guaranteed Harvard’s eminence. During the first half of the nineteenth century, however, Harvard’s Unitarianism had isolated it somewhat from the evange

As an academic environment, there is also the inevitable risk of distance between academic staff and administrative staff and between lecturers and students.

Abstract:
World War II generated concern for restoring values in Western civilization. The Harvard Report of 1945 urged study of the best in the West, including religious texts as one source of such values. The Truman Commission report of 1947, Higher Education for a Democratic Society, added more practical concerns for the new mass higher education. Humanists such as Robert Hutchins were appalled. The postwar era saw a broad religious revival in mainstream higher education, blending broadly Protestant, democratic, and humanistic ideals.
