One of the greatest challenges for instructors in religious studies
is the task of explaining why, in colleges and universities, the
truth claims of religions are not accepted or even investigated,
but instead a disinterested, secular approach is taken. Most
instructors prefer not to address the issue directly, leaving their
students to work out for themselves the difference between
religious studies and the study of religion. Those who remain
confused inevitably submit essays that reveal more about their
religious upbringing than their ability to analyze a phenomenon
objectively. A Guide to Writing Academic Essays in Religious
Studies eases the transition for undergraduate students by
explaining what they need to know about writing research essays
pertaining to religion. Topics include methodological and
theoretical presuppositions of religious studies, types of research
essays, locating appropriate scholarly literature, developing a
thesis, the essentials of essay form and content, quotations, forms
of documentation, avoiding plagiarism, gender-inclusive language,
layout, style, conciseness, rewriting and proofreading, approaching
ancient texts, and how to recognize and avoid bad scholarship. This
guide is indispensable for students new to religious studies.
