Trying Not to "Shove Religion down Their Throats".

Abstract This article attempts two tasks. First, to clarify how the claim that colleges and universities may “shove religion down students’ throats” has a historical background. Second, to indicate how pedagogical strategies—like service learning, discussions, paper revisions, and “Just in Time Teaching” exercises—can be used in ways that both effectively teach theology and address the claim of students that classes in theology are coercive.
