George M. Marsden will speak at Huntington College Thursday, March 6, at 8 p.m. in the Habecker Dining Commons' upper level banquet hall. The program is free and open to the public. Dr. Marsden is a world-recognized expert on evangelicalism and fundamentalism. He serves on the faculty of the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana where he teaches history. Marsden will examine the modern secular pressures applied to Christian colleges and universities.
Many academics now think it is inappropriate to relate one's faith to one's scholarship or teaching.
Marsden will offer his own perspectives on how Christians should respond to these trends. Huntington College was founded in 1897 by the Church of the United Brethren in Christ.
