There is a great deal of interest in bringing a better appreciation
of ritual into religious studies classes, but many teachers are
uncertain how to go about doing this. Religious studies faculty
know how to teach texts, but they are often unprepared to teach
something for which the meaning lies in the doing. How much doing
should a class do? How does the teacher talk about religious
concepts that exist in practical relationships, not textual
descriptions? These practical issues also give rise to theoretical
questions. Giving more attention to ritual effectively suggests a
reinterpretation of religion itselfless focused on what people have
thought and written, and more focused on how they order their
universe. Much of the useful analysis of ritual derives from
anthropological and sociological premises, which are often foreign
to religious studies faculty and are seen by some as theologically
problematic. This is the first resource to address the issues
specific to teaching this subject. A stellar cast of contributors,
who teach ritual in a wide variety of courses and settings, explain
what has worked for them in the classroom, what hasn't, and what
they've learned from experience. Their voices range from personal
to formal, and their topics from Japanese theatre to using field
trips. The result is a thoughtful guide for teachers who are new to
the subject as well as experienced ones looking for fresh angles
and approaches.
