Religion and Culture in the Chron. of Higher Ed.

The web site of the Chronicle of Higher Education has made available some fascinating essays on Religion and Culture by 10 scholars. Here's the blurb:

What role do or should religious institutions play in society? Does religion shape culture, or vice versa? Does it have a political content? How has the relationship of religion to American society changed in the contemporary world?

Many new and forthcoming scholarly books on religion and American culture seek to answer questions like those, which are part of some of today's most pressing public debates, underlying such controversies as abortion, school vouchers, the roots of terrorism, and many more.

In light of the recent scholarship and public debates, The Chronicle asked 10 leading scholars to give their views on religion in American life today.

The participating scholars include George Marsden, Jean Bethke Elshtain, Robert Wuthnow, and many others. Check it out.
