This new collection of essays aims to redress the balance and to add to fruitful discussion in this area Including essays by some of today's leading academics on the sometimes contentious relationship between religious studies - or the study of religions - and theology, this volume is international in scope, with contributions from scholars from the UK, USA, South Africa, Netherlands, Sweden and Iran. Many of the essays offer a contextualised account of the evolving relationship between the disciplines. The contributors address such issues as the place of theology within today's universities; the problem of clashing methodologies in theology and religious studies; the possibility for a 'theological religious studies'; approaching the study of religions without theology; interdisciplinary approaches for bridging the theology/religious studies divide; and the place of biblical studies in the theology/religious studies debate."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 410 0$aContinuum advances in religious studies. 606 $aReligion$xStudy and teaching$vCongresses 606 $aTheology$xStudy and teaching$vCongresses 606 $aUniversities and colleges$xCurricula$vCongresses 606 $2Theology 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aReligion$xStudy and teaching 615 0$aTheology$xStudy and teaching 615 0$aUniversities and colleges$xCurricula 676 $a230.0071/1 702 $aBird$b Darlene 702 $aSmith$b Simon G. 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910459442903321 996 $aTheology and religious studies in higher education$92057112 997 $aUNINA
