| Summary: | This is a review of the book Breakthrough to Dialogue: The Story of and Reflections on Temple University’s Department of Religion (Mesa, AZ: iPub Global Connection, 2019), edited by Dr. Leonard Swider, who is a long-time professor of religion at Temple University. The history of Temple’s Department of Religion is of interest because the department pioneered objective, non-sectarian religious studies at a public university. This approach to religious higher education has now spread throughout the US and beyond. |
