Samuel Schuman examines the place of religious colleges and universities, particularly evangelical Protestant institutions, in contemporary American higher education.Many faithbased schools are flourishing. They have rigorous academic standards, impressive student recruitment, ambitious philanthropic goals, and wellmaintained campuses and facilities. Yet much of the U.S. highereducation community ignores them or accords them little respect. Seeing the Light considers, instead, what can be learned from the viability of these institutions.The book begins with a history of post secondary U.S. education from the perspective of the religious traditions from which it arose. After focusing briefly on nonevangelical institutions, Schuman next looks at three Roman Catholic institutionsthe College of New Rochelle, Villanova University, and Thomas Aquinas College. He then profiles evangelical colleges and universities in detail, discovering the factors contributing to their success. These institutions range from nationally recognized to little known, from rich to poor, with both highly selective and open admission requirements. Interviews with key administrators, faculty, and students reveal the challenges, the successes, and the goals of these institutions.Schuman concludes that these schoolsBaylor University, Anderson University, New Saint Andrews College, Calvin College, North Park University, George Fox University, Westmont College, Oral Roberts University, Northwestern College, and Wheaton Collegeand others like them offer important and timely lessons for the broader highereducation community.
