THRS 2400 - Methods in Theology and Religious Studies

5 credit hours
It is common in every academic discipline that scholars debate and discuss fundamental questions, such as: What is the subject matter of this discipline?; How does one go about studying it?; What criteria does one use to evaluate the quality of a contribution in the discipline? In this course, questions such as these will be addressed for both theology and religious studies. The course is organized and facilitated by one THRS faculty member, but will be enriched by the presence of several THRS faculty members who will discuss an area of their own teaching and scholarship as a way to illustrate a “method in action”. Required course for THRS majors, open to other students as an elective.
