Glanzer, Perry L.; Cockle, Theodore F.; Martin, Jessica; Alexander, Scott – Religious Education, 2023
Faith-based colleges and universities in America have historically been described as "church-related."

These encounters can prompt new perspectives on their own beliefs and elicit responses from rejection to incorporation of the diverging belief, thus…

With this in mind, the…

To test this possibility, data were…
