Covering topics such as recent theoretical approaches to comparison, case studies of comparing religions in the classroom, and the impact of postcolonialism and postmodernism on the modernist assumptions of comparitivism, the volume seeks to problematize and interrogate the field, especially as it relates to emerging models of pedagogy at the university level. "Comparing Religions" will be of especial interest to those who teach in religious studies departments, or who teach courses on religion in departments of anthropology, sociology, and history. 410 0$aStudies in the history of religions ;$v113. 606 $aReligion$xMethodology 606 $aReligion$xStudy and teaching 606 $aReligions 615 0$aReligion$xMethodology. 615 0$aReligion$xStudy and teaching. 615 0$aReligions. 676 $a200.7 701 $aHanges$b James Constantine$f1954-$01865222 701 $aIdinopulos$b Thomas A$01865220 701 $aWilson$b Brian C$0858447 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910972894703321 996 $aComparing religions$94472261 997 $aUNINA
