ABOUT US

Anselm Academic
Where contemporary scholarship and effective pedagogy meet
in texts designed to serve today's university classroom
Anselm Academic provides accessible, engaging texts for the contemporary student, written by teaching scholars whose direct experience with undergrads informs their own writing and pedagogy.

Today's university students reflect a new generation of faith-of many faiths. As they seek greater understanding, they look at why theological and religious studies matter, both in their own lives and in the world they'll inherit.

Anselm Academic is committed to challenging student intellects and providing students with critical thinking skills that will help them engage in dialogue with those of other faiths and worldviews.

Written in the LaSallian tradition, Anselm Academic textbooks strive to provide a forum for the fair and honest exchange of ideas. Anselm Academic's texts work to establish a level of understanding and mutual respect, promoting an environment that fosters thoughtful ways of viewing the world and our own actions.

In Anselm Academic's customer-based approach to textbook development, the goal is to stay in listening-and-learning mode, continually asking, "What's in it for the instructor and the student?" and then striving to meet that need. As a result, after five years of publishing college texts, Anselm Academic has generated strong customer approval for its accessible, scholarly, and engaging texts.

"What differentiates Anselm Academic books from those of other publishers"?

Read what your colleagues have to say:
"They are readable and student friendly in format - e.g. tables of summary and short inserts."

"What stands out in my mind is that they are clearly written for students. One of my favorite features is the abundance of charts, etc. I also appreciate the scholarly quality of the books—and of the charts too, for that matter. I've never been a fan of textbooks, but the Anselm Academic books are a great resource in an age when students are not all that theologically literate."

“Keep up the good work you are doing at ANSELM ACADEMIC! It is clear you folks are educators and are serious about making the material reach today’s students where they are and in the process expanding their horizon.”

"Clarity, formatting, sound theology, topical/current information that reflects current trends."
