In the same way you can discover something important about a university by how it names its department teaching about Christianity (e.g., Religion, Theology, Bible, Christian Studies), you can learn something about a university by how it labels the moral ideals it sets forth for students. You can also ascertain a great deal about them by the language and reasoning they use to justify how they think students should behave.

I remember teaching a weekend course on American Christian history in the late 1990s. Since it was a weekend course for working adults, I used several videos in those late Saturday afternoon hours when eyes glazed and heads nodded. I found some great videos about the history of American Catholicism and African American Christianity, but the only video series I could find about the history of evangelicals was Randall Balmer’s series on the Religious Right, which he helped produce for PBS.
