Religion in the Composition Classroom

Exploring the intersection of religion and academia, this book presents a pragmatic framework for discussing religious beliefs within secular university settings. Drawing on the ideas of American pragmatists, it emphasizes the real-world implications of belief systems rather than theological debates. By focusing on religion as a significant social and political force, the text encourages first-year composition students to engage thoughtfully with complex topics like race, class, and gender, highlighting the impact of belief on human relationships and interactions.
