      abstract = {Kenneth Garcia presents an edited collection of papers  from the 2015 conference on academic freedom at religiously  affiliated universities, held at the University of Notre  Dame. These essays reexamine the secular principle of  academic freedom and discuss how a theological  understanding might build on and further develop it. The  year 2015 marked the 100th anniversary of the founding of  the American Association of University Professors (AAUP),  the leading advocate of academic freedom in America. In  October 2015, the University of Notre Dame convened a group  of prominent scholars to consider how the concept and  practice of academic freedom might evolve. The premise  behind the conference was that the current conventional  understandings of academic freedom are primarily secular  and, therefore, not yet complete. The goal was to consider  alternative understandings in light of theological insight.  Theological insight, in this context, refers to an  awareness that there is a surplus of knowledge and meaning  to reality that transcends what can be known through  ordinary disciplinary methods of inquiry, especially those  that are quantitative or empirical. Essays in this volume  discuss how, in light of the fact that findings in many  fields hint at connections to a greater whole, scholars in  any academic field should be free to pursue those  connections. Moreover, there are religious traditions that  can help inform those connections.},
