Meeting Jesus at University: Rites of Passage and Student Evangelicals is a 2008 book by the British author Edward Dutton. Dutton argues that Christian student groups provide a support structure during a transitional period in students' lives.[1] According to Dutton, greater changes in students' lives are linked to greater differentiation between Christian student groups and outsiders.[2][3]
The book describes six communities of Christian university students around the world. Dutton's methodology is based on Victor Turner's theory of liminality.[4]
