Beneath the Roar and Tumult is a collection of essays from professors across the many disciplines in Catholic colleges and universities who offer portable practices to embolden students to employ a prophetic lens to see the world clearly as it is, and then creatively imagine a better way forward. At a time when higher education is under extraordinary political pressure to be silent rather than prophetic, the volume makes a case for why and how the religious commitments of the institutions and faculty often compel prophetic education.
Karen Eifler directs Collegium, a national colloquy on faith and intellectual life designed to nurture faculty of all disciplines to grasp their vital, distinctive contributions to the world and to Catholic higher education. She cherished a mostly joy-filled career at the University of Portland, where she taught teachers for 26 years and ran the Garaventa Center for Catholic Intellectual Life & American Culture. Recent essay collections include The Religion and Philosophy of Ted Lasso(contributor), and Near Occasions of Hope: A Woman’s Glimpse of a Church That Can Be. She co-edited this book's companion volume, Becoming Beholders: Cultivating Sacramental Imagination and Actions in College Classrooms.
