- W2563504534 abstract "Teaching undergraduates, one searches for a shared literary experi ence upon which to build. Allusions to a book, a poem, a document, even a serious film are all frustrated by the lack of a common study. In our secular and electronic age neither are the parables of the New Testament generally known to students. For efficiency the instructor seeks language and metaphors developed in the general education curriculum of secondary school to employ in the explication of con cepts at college. The shared experience, however, seems to extend no further than popular culture, particularly in the form of televi sion programming, whereas a universal exposure in the public schools to any one piece of fine literature has not been achieved.
