| Summary: | This is a volume that allows readers insight into "how to" link religion and literature in teaching. Pragmatic and practice-oriented, the collection of essays is addressed to instructors in tertiary education and makes a case for bridging disciplines and fields of inquiry and teaching. The anthology is based on the understanding that the study of religion and the study of literature are each amalgams of a range of disciplines of inquiry and that, therefore, their separation in the modern Western university is misleading. Rather, the book encourages students and teachers to read in more complex ways, to draw insights from a range of disciplines and sources, and thereby to undercut simplistic or seemingly obvious ways of engaging with "religious" and "literary" texts and to counteract the artificial separation of religious from literary inquiry. The book moves the reader through a range of debates and case studies, in the latter parts, in particular, presenting a fly-on-the-wall insight into actual classrooms and ways of handling a topic or a text. |
