"This book presents a theologically-grounded understanding of academic freedom that
builds on, completes, and transforms the prevailing secular understanding. Academic
freedom in the secular university, while rightly protecting scholars from external
interference by ecclesiastical and political authorities, is constricting in practice
because it tends to prohibit most scholars from exploring the relation of the finite
world to the infinite, or God. In the Catholic university, true academic freedom means
both the freedom of the scholar to pursue studies unencumbered by external interference,
and freedom to pursue knowledge beyond the boundaries of specific academic disciplines
toward an infinite horizon"--
