Excerpt from Religion in a College: What Place It Should Have, Being an Examination of President Eliot's Paper, Read Before the Nineteenth Century Club, in New York, Feb; 3, 1886

It is because I feel that we have come to an important cri sis, and that fathers and mothers should know it, thati have agreed to engage in this discussion; disputation, except to defend great principles, being uncongenial to my nature.

In taking my side I must have certain things presup posed, otherwise I have nothing to argue from or upon. I presume that I am addressing persons who believe in relig ion, who believe in God, who believe in a moral law, that we have broken that law, that the soul is immortal, and that there is to be a judgment day. I may assume that I am not addressing a company of agnostics who believe in things that can be seen, in meat and money, but not in things that are spiritual and divine. If I had to argue before such an audience I would have to begin with trying to convince them that religion is a reality. If there be any here who can look abroad on these wondrous works in earth and hea ven and discover no design in them, who believe themselves to be upper brutes, and do not acknowledge that they have a soul distinct from the body, or that we have to give an ao count of the deeds done in the body, whether they have been good or evil, it is of no use for me to address myself to such, for they are committed against me; they cannot wish to have religion in our colleges, for they do not wish it for themselves.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the place of religion within the educational system of a college, exploring its importance in shaping the moral values, motivations, and aspirations of students. The author argues that religion, with its teachings of virtue, provides a crucial foundation for teaching morality and ethics effectively. The book examines the historical context of religious education in colleges, tracing its evolution from the founding of institutions steeped in religious principles to the modern trend of secularization. It highlights the benefits of religious instruction in fostering a sense of community, personal growth, and service to others. By emphasizing the transformative power of faith and spirituality, the author asserts the need for colleges to continue prioritizing religious education, not as a means of imposing dogma, but as a way to nurture the whole person and prepare students to navigate the complexities of life with a strong moral compass. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781330658437_0
