Life Questions Every Student Asks
Every student asks questions about life beyond the classroom:
- What does it mean to be in community?
- How can I discern my vocation?
- How should I understand marriage and sex?
- How should I relate to money and power?
- What happens if I doubt my faith?
- How should I approach interfaith dialogue?
To help students navigate these questions about some of life's most pressing and difficult issues, Gary M. Burge and David Lauber, coeditors of Theology Questions Everyone Asks, have gathered insights from Christian faculty who draw on their own experiences in conversation with students during office hours and over coffee.
Sometimes, the deepest learning takes place outside the classroom.
"Every conversation in this book I had as a student at Columbia University, except I didn't have this book to ground and launch those discussions. If you are a college student or work with them, then this is the book to get together to discuss and wrestle with what it looks like to follow Jesus in the face of a dominant culture that calls you to look elsewhere for identity, significance, and satisfaction."
"Every church that sends its kids off to college and every parent who wants their child to navigate the higher education experience as a disciple of Jesus should give them a compass and this book. Both will help the matriculating student stay on course—in the case of this book, not with canned advice, as is so often the case, but with deep wisdom, honest reflections, and practical advice about the most significant questions that often haunt Christian students, whether they attend secular or religious institutions. In any case, every Christian college should make this book required reading during its students' first semester."
