The Schooled Heart: Moral Reformation in American Higher Education (Studies in Religion and Higher Education)

The Schooled Heart addresses a basic question about the nature of the university: should moral education figure among the university's purposes? This volume offers an affirmative response to that question. A central purpose of the university is the moral formation of students—what Beaty and Henry call the schooling of the heart.
