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 aro und them. Particular attention is given to evangelical expression in the cl assroom and the complex ways that faith is enacted in discourse.
