| Σύνοψη: | How should instructors conceptualize an introductory course on the academic study of religion? This article combines an abstract and broader review of different conceptualizations of such courses with hands-on discussions of two exemplary teaching models. The "case study model" applies different approaches within the study of religion to a single case study in order to exemplify and compare their potentials and limitations. The "monograph model" illustrates how an ethnography is used as a reference point for a discussion of the history of and current strands within the study of religion. Both models are particularly well suited to facilitate the combination of an overview of key themes, approaches, terms, and scholars with a close study of the intricate and captivating empirical reality of "lived religion(s)". |
