This is a crucial volume exploring the relationship between the
disciplines of Religious Studies and Theology."Theology and
Religious Studies" seeks to explore the relationship between the
disciplines of Religious Studies and Theology. In particular, it
aims to examine whether the two disciplines are strange bedfellows
sharing little in common but bedding together out of sheer habit,
or whether there is something that the two share in an organic
sense, which sustains the link between them.These questions have
important implications not just for how the respective disciplines
define themselves and their boundaries, but also for their place in
the secular context of higher education in modern universities. The
question of how the two are related is one that concerns all
scholars of religion, since it has important implications for
approach and method in the study of religions. Particularly
relevant are questions to do with subjectivity, objectivity, and
reflexivity in the study of religion; 'insider' and 'outsider'
approaches; 'scientific' and 'theological' methodologies; and
'public'/'private' dichotomies in defining the 'secular' and the
'religious'.This volume is based on a seminar series conducted over
2005-06 in the Department of Theology and Religious Studies, at the
University of Wales, Lampeter, UK. It brings together papers
presented by leading scholars of Theology and Religious Studies on
various aspects of their respective disciplines. These include
origins; history; founding premises; orientations; methodology;
engagement with feminist and post-colonial critiques; and shifts in
theoretical paradigms over time. The intended result is the
generation of dialogue between the two disciplines, and a
self-reflexive examination of what each is about. There is very
little available literature attempting such a dialogue between
Theology and Religious Studies, and this book will fill a crucial
gap in this area.
