For more than thirty years, Jonathan Z. Smith has been perhaps the
most important voice of critical reflection within the academic
study of religion. His essays are cited constantly, his books used
in undergraduate and graduate classes. Smith has also produced a
significant corpus of essays and lectures on teaching and on the
essential role of academic scholarship on religion in matters of
education and public policy. Many of these articles appeared in
education journals, which unfortunately most academic scholars do
not read; others are collected in specialist volumes of conference
proceedings on Judaic Studies, for example. Many were originally
delivered as keynote speeches to the AAR and other major scholarly
organizations, and although scholars reminisce about hearing Smith
deliver them, the works themselves are not readily available.
Education is not a side issue for Smith, and his essays continually
shed light on fundamental questions. What differentiates college
from high school? What are the proper functions of an introductory
course? What functions should a department serve in undergraduate
and graduate education? How should a major or concentration be
conceived-if at all? What roles should the academic guilds play in
public discourse on education and on religion? Most importantly,
what does it mean to say that one is both a scholar and a teacher,
and what responsibilities does this entail? On Teaching Religion
collects the best of these essays and lectures into one volume,
along with a new essay by Smith.
