Theology and religious studies co-exist in the majority of
departments in higher education institutions within the UK, yet
there has been very little debate or discussion on how these two
disciplines relate to one another in this context and on a more
general level. 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.
