ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses that theology should avoid aligning itself with epistemologies that generate a debilitating skepticism, and thereby prevent those who study theology from attaining real theological knowledge and truth, or knowledge of the truth about the divine. It presents a properly interpreted, inclusively 'secular' but not 'secularist' university can and even should welcome specifically theological knowledge and truth-seeking so that its constituents can attain a plurality of epistemic and educative ends, or all kinds and levels of knowledge and truth - including theological knowledge and truth. The 'secularist' university could actively pursue a program of moral and political education free of the influence effect of religion: that is, a purely secular ethics that presumably anybody in the secular university could endorse. The secular university could adopt atheism or naturalism as its official outlook, which in turn would govern and guide the whole of its intellectual life, but then the secular university in effect would become sectarian.
