Historical developments in Britain -- Part II. Turning points in the development of some academic subjects and themes -- Part III. Pointers to new directions -- Appendix."Religious Studies was first introduced as a new discipline in universities and colleges around the world in the 1960s. This discipline brought about a reorientation of the study of religion, created new perspectives and influenced all sectors of education. The essays presented in this volume provide a clear and comprehensive overview of the history of Religious Studies as an academic discipline, the turning points it faces and the directions it might take in the future. The work is organised in three sections. The first presents a succinct case study of the historical development of Religious Studies in Britain. The second considers the development of Religious Studies throughout the world in its major constituents, including Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, 'traditional' African religions, Christianity, Islam and new religious movements in Africa, the study of truth and dialogue in religion, science and the rediscovery of religious experience, mysticism. The third section looks to developments in Religious Studies, in particular at religion in relation to the arts, gender, information technology and to Religious Studies in a global perspective."--Bloomsbury Publishing.Bloomsbury academic collections.Religious studies.Comparative religion.ReligionStudy and teachingGreat BritainReligionStudy and teachingComparative religionReligionStudy and teachingReligionStudy and teaching.200/.7/041King UrsulaParrinder Edward GeoffreyUtOrBLWUtOrBLWBOOK9910798655603321Turning points in religious studies974642UNINA
