Description
Summary:The membership of the Conference on Christianity and Literature is comprised largely of teachers, many of whom bring their scholarly concerns to bear in courses such as The Bible and Literature or Religion and Literature. This section on Pedagogy offers a range of practical experience in that effort. Professor Dabney Hart of Georgia State University discusses an approach through comparative literature, while Professor Gweneth Schwab of the University of Illinois discusses an approach based upon balanced responses to literature. Professor Allena Longfellow has shared the introduction to an extensive annotated bibliography for her course in The Bible and Literature at the Louisiana State University. Professor Roy Battenhouse of Indiana University provides a focused outline for a literary analysis of the tragedy of Absalom. Finally, Professor Janet Catlin of Oscar Rose Junior College reminisces on her experience of teaching The Bible as Literature in Oklahoma.
