Religion in the Classroom: Book Group Discussion of When God Talks Back

David Prejsnar (History, Philosophy, and Religious Studies) 

Many of our students bring their religious experiences and beliefs into the classroom. How can we best understand the impact of religious belief on teaching and learning?  Join a book discussion of Tanya Luhrmann’s When God Talks Back, an attempt to understand the American evangelical experience from an anthropological and psychological perspective. "Whether you are a determined rationalist or a dedicated evangelical," writes Harvard professor Howard Gardner, "you'll be enlighted by Luhrmann's synthesis."
