<p><strong>Every student asks questions about life beyond the classroom:</strong></p><ul><li>What does it mean to be in community?</li><li>How can I discern my vocation?</li><li>How should I understand marriage and sex?</li><li>How should I relate tomoney and power?</li><li>What happens if I doubt my faith?</li><li>How should I approach interfaith dialogue?</li></ul><p>To help students navigate these questions about some of life's most pressing and difficult issues, Gary M. Burge and David Lauber, coeditors of <em>Theology Questions Everyone Asks</em>, have gathered insights from Christian faculty who draw on their own experiences in conversation with students during office hours and over coffee.</p><p>Sometimes, the deepest learning takesplace outside the classroom.</p>
