WOF 517: The Idea of a University (7 of 12)



Dr. Matthew Petrusek

Newman’s articulation of the nature of university education in his ​The Idea of a University ​is crucial today in that a polytechnic model has replaced classical liberal education and theology has been exiled from most institutions. 

Topics Covered:

  • Why theology is a science 
  • Why secularism destroys the university 
  • Oxford ideal
