Recenzii
Laat's book is an informative, interesting, and sympathetic look at a fascinating educational subculture.
Fundamentalist U,is essential reading for anyone interested in the history of modern evangelicalism.
Along the way, Laats uses a vast array of evidence, from theological tracts to student evaluations, to reveal the changing perspectives of, and pressures on, university administrators, professors, students, and parents. ... Fundamentalist U is a superb book and a significant contribution to the histories of U.S. religion and politics as well as higher education.
Finally, we have a comprehensive history of some of the most significant and significantly understudied 'dissenting' types of higher educational institutions: fundamentalist and evangelical colleges and universities. And Adam Laats is exactly the right person to have written it. As a sympathetic outsider to the institutions he studies, Laats pairs depth of research and analysis with a commitment to rigorous fairness to his subjects... Fundamentalist U reshapes our mental landscape of twentieth-century American higher educational institutions and is essential reading for understanding both their history and their present.
At its worst, scholarship on religion and American higher education has a tendency to diverge into a diatribe against secularization and the waning influence of Christianity in 20th and 21st century colleges and universities. At its best, scholarship on religion and American higher education produces fascinating studies about the ways in which religion engages in a unique and complex network of educational institutions that, in many ways, is unparalleled in any other country. Adam Laats's book, Fundamentalist U: Keeping Faith in American Higher Education, falls within the latter category ... Laats presents scholars with an important study in an area of religion and American higher education that brings evangelical and fundamentalist institutions into the field of study.
