Keeping Faith at Princeton: A Brief History of Religious Pluralism at Princeton and Other Universities Hardcover - 2012
by Frederick Houk Borsch
From the rear cover
"Fred Borsch's Keeping Faith at Princeton is an intellectual gem and spiritual jewel. We Princetonians should be grateful to him."--Cornel West, Princeton University
"In describing Princeton's evolution from its Presbyterian past and homogeneous student body to the pluralism and diversity of today, Borsch shows that the university's active support of interfaith dialogue and cooperation makes an important contribution to the post-9/11 world."--John C. Danforth, former U.S. senator
"A splendid account of Princeton's response to increasingly diverse religious practices among students, faculty, and alumni over the last half century. Writing from his own engaged and critical involvement as undergraduate, dean of religious life, and trustee, Borsch also offers synopses of developments elsewhere. Keeping Faith at Princeton will prove highly informative for those seeking to understand the current religious dimension of life at colleges and universities, indeed throughout American society."--John F. Wilson, Princeton University
"Frederick Borsch has written an excellent book that deals with the complicated and controversial subject of the role of religion on college and university campuses. This is the best discussion of the subject that I know, and everyone interested in the topic will want to read this exceptional work."--Neil Rudenstine, president emeritus, Harvard University
"Keeping Faith at Princeton is an engaging firsthand account of how religious diversity was achieved at one of the nation's most prestigious campuses. Borsch has given us a rare inside look at the complex, sometimes tortuous, and for the most part effective decisions that faculty, students, and administrators have made--and continue to make--in adapting to religious diversity."--Robert Wuthnow, author of Red State Religion: Faith and Politics in America's Heartland
