Synopsis

How do Catholic university faculty attend to and support the prophetic imaginations of their students?

Among the treasures of the Catholic intellectual tradition, two are especially vital for contemporary Catholic education: the sacramental imagination and prophetic imagination. A sacramental imagination, as illuminated in this book's companion Becoming Beholders, posits that God is made manifest in all the academic life. But that reality of beauty and goodness must be held in tension with the prophetic imagination--a worldview that is acutely attuned to injustices and looks with creative eyes towards a more peaceful and equitable world.

Composed of essays by faculty in Catholic higher education in various fields, Beneath the Roar and Tumult addresses this tension, with insight into practical strategies for attending to the prophetic imagination in the classroom. In the classroom, educators are called on to create spaces for their students to grapple with inequalities and to dream of an actionable way forward while cultivating a more wholistic vision of academic life in solidarity with the world outside of it. Beneath the Roar and Tumult offers practical guidance for fostering inclusion and belonging in college classrooms to provide a space where the prophetic imagination is embraced.
