This imaginative study rethinks the nature of theology and its role
in universities.
* The author sketches out a fascinating project using examples
from US and UK institutions, whereby theology becomes a
transformative force within universities.
* Imagines what a Christian university, in which all disciplines
have been theologized, would look like.
* Feeds into discussions about the religious identity of
denominationally-linked colleges and universities.
* Forms part of a wider attempt to imagine a vital public role
for theology that enables it to serve both the Church and the wider
community.
