In Keeping Faith at Princeton, Borsch tells the story of Princeton's journey from its founding in 1746 as a college for Presbyterian ministers to the religiously diverse institution it is today. He sets this landmark narrative history against the backdrop of his own quest for spiritual illumination, first as a student at Princeton in the 1950's and later as campus minister amid the turmoil and uncertainty of 1980's America. Borsch traces how the trauma of the Depression and two world wars challenged the idea of progress through education and religion--the very idea on which Princeton was founded. Even as the numbers of students gaining access to higher education grew exponentially after World War II, student demographics at Princeton and other elite schools remained all male, predominantly white, and Protestant. Then came the 1960's. Campuses across America became battlegrounds for the antiwar movement, civil rights, and gender equality. By the dawn of the Reagan era, women and blacks were being admitted to Princeton. So were greater numbers of Jews, Catholics, and others. Borsch gives an electrifying insider's account of this era of upheaval and great promise. With warmth, clarity, and penetrating firsthand insights, Keeping Faith at Princeton demonstrates how Princeton and other major American universities learned to promote religious diversity among their students, teachers, and administrators. 606 $aReligious pluralism$zNew Jersey$zPrinceton$xHistory 606 $aUniversities and colleges$zUnited States$xReligion 606 $aReligious pluralism$zUnited States$xHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aReligious pluralism$xHistory. 615 0$aUniversities and colleges$xReligion. 615 0$aReligious pluralism$xHistory. 676 $a261.2071/174 700 $aBorsch$b Frederick Houk$01044302 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461825203321 996 $aKeeping faith at Princeton$92469865 997 $aUNINA
