Description

The Outrageous Idea of Christian Teaching by Perry L. Glanzer and Nathan F. Alleman explores how professors' Christian identity can inform their teaching in contemporary universities. Drawing on a survey of over 2,300 Christian professors from North America, the authors examine the role of faith-informed teaching in academic settings. The book provides a nuanced alternative to those who advocate for restraining the influence of one's extra-professional identity and those who promote full integration of one's primary identity into the classroom. By placing empirical findings alongside the wider scholarly conversation, Glanzer and Alleman argue that Christian identity can and should inform professors' teaching in the pluralistic university. This book charts new ground regarding how professors think about Christian teaching specifically, as well as how they should approach identity-informed teaching more generally.
