article Teaching the Daode Jing
Gary D. DeAngelis and Warren G. Frisina, eds.
Oxford University Press, Oxford
2008
From the Publisher
The Daode Jing, a highly enigmatic work rooted in ancient Chinese cosmology, ontology, metaphysics, and moral thinking, is regularly offered to college and high-school students in religion, philosophy, history, literature, Asian studies, and humanities courses. As a result, an ever-expanding group of faculty with very different backgrounds and training routinely confront the question: "How should I teach the Daode Jing?"

article Teaching Religion and Healing
From the Publisher
The study of medicine and healing traditions is well developed in the discipline of anthropology. Most religious studies scholars, however, continue to assume that "medicine" and "biomedicine" are one and the same and that when religion and medicine are mentioned together, the reference is necessarily either to faith healing or bioethics. Scholars of religion also have tended to assume that religious healing refers to the practices...

article Between Text and Artifact: Integrating Archaeology in Biblical Studies Teaching
Moreland, Milton C.
Brill Academic Publishers, Leiden, The Netherlands
2003
From the Publisher
Though researchers in both Biblical studies and archaeology have finally recognized the contributions they can make to each others' disciplines, the integration has been difficult to transfer to teaching, so that future scholars will not have to keep climbing over the same wall every generation. Teachers of history and religious studies share some of the approaches they have used to solve the problem.

Taken ad seriatim, these essays present a wide range of differing theoretical positions and practical strategies for reform. It is our hope that, when read from this point of view, they will evoke the kind of very specific discussions, debates and actions that will be required if real change is to occur.

Penaskovic, Richard

From the Publisher
This work responds to a renewed emphasis on teaching in the academy. Written from the perspective of a classroom teacher, it is a practical application of the principles behind the Critical Thinking movement to the study of religion.

This book explores how insights into figurative language can reshape what teachers do in the classroom. It reveals why some well-known methods work while others do not. Rejecting prescriptive pedagogical formulae, it recounts classroom episodes that help teachers rethink their own practice. Finally, the book sets out how we can use these episodes to reappraise language learning theory in a way that treats it as consonant with...

At a time when the popularity of Buddhism is at a peak in the west, both inside and outside the university setting, scholars and students alike are searching for guidance: How should Buddhism, a religion which is ultimately 'foreign' to western experience, be taught?

Jonte-Pace, Diane

From the Publisher
One of the central questions of the field of Religious Studies is "What is religion and how might we best understand it?" Sigmund Freud was surely a paradigmatic cartographer of this terrain. Among the first theorists to explore the unconscious fantasies, fears, and desires underlying religious ideas and practices, Freud can be considered one of the founders of the field. Yet Freud's legacy is deeply contested. With his reputation...

The academic study of death rose to prominence during the 1960s. Courses on some aspect of death and dying can now be found at most institutions of higher learning. These courses tend to stress the psycho-social aspects of grief and bereavement, however, ignoring the religious elements inherent to the subject. This collection is the first to address the teaching of courses on death and dying from a religious-studies perspective.

Preaching's most able practitioners gather in this book to call for a radical change in how Christian preaching is taught.
