Abstract
What can you say about the complexities of teaching religion to undergraduates?
Jesuit Paul Fitzgerald speaks about the challenges of teaching religion in a diverse classroom. While many students of other faiths often enrich the conversation and read in ways cradle Catholics have not, it is also a challenge to not offend any of the students own beliefs.
