Theology & Religious Studies - Religion and Culture

  
  • TRS 179 - Theory and Method in the Study of Religion


    Upper Division

    Prerequisites
    TRS 097  or TRS 189 .

    This course is designed to give students a foundation in the classical and contemporary theories and methods used in the academic study of religion. A key focus of the course will be on seminal theories and methods such as those formulated by Sigmund Freud, Emile Durkheim, Mircea Eliade, and Clifford Geertz. We’ll also examine the methodologies employed by some prominent, recent scholars and consider the connections these make with underlying theory. A key component of the course will be an exploration of the differences between theological and religious studies and the development of religious studies as an academic discipline.  Students will also have the opportunity to become familiar with critical issues and debates within the contemporary field of religious studies such as the role of the body in religion, religion and power, the debate over “insider” and “outsider” perspectives, and the place of theological commitments in the academic study of religion.
