- Summary:
-
The author explores the notion of academic freedom within the context of a theological college or faculty/school within a university environment. He argues that the notion of academic freedom is applicable in relation to a strong understanding of the centrality of a faith commitment. Academic freedom will always mean different things in different academic contexts. Theology has its own context and the meaning of academic freedom within that context will be different though analogous to that which operates in other fields. The problem that theological colleges face is not the possibility of academic freedom but secularist assumptions that faith commitments are inherently irrational and not open to genuine academic research - Page 1.
