Enacting Faith: Evangelical Discourse and the Discipline of Composition Studies

Lizabeth A. Rand

Abstract

This essay contends that religious belief often matters to our students and that spiritual identity may be the primary kind of selfhood that more than a few of them draw upon in making meaning of their lives and the world around them. Particular attention is given to evangelical expression in the classroom and the complex ways that faith is enacted in discourse.
