| Summary: | The paper develops and tests the thesis that differential commitment to the scholarly perspective explains differences in involvement in traditional Judaeo-Christian religion. Utilizing data from a probability sample of full-time faculty in rank at all accredited colleges in a midwestern urban area, the study developed a scale to measure differential commitment to the scholarly perspective. Correlations between scholarly perspective score and religiosity scores supported the thesis. These relationships were stable when controlling for sectarian and nonsectarian types of school milieux. Quality of respondents' educational background did not explain the relationships between scholarly commitment and religiosity. Rather commitment to the scholarly perspective accounted for some of the relationship between quality of education and religious involvement. |
