Author:
This book redefines religious studies as a field in which a plurality of disciplines interact. A social science when understood as a body of knowledge, religion is also marked by discovery, appreciation, orientation, and application—an interplay of the arts and sciences. Teaching religious studies involves the question of the occupation of territories and disentangling occupation from violence.
Steven Schroeder lives and writes in Chicago, Illinois. He is the author of four previous books, including The Metaphysics of Cooperation: A Study of F.D. Maurice and Between Freedom and Necessity: An Essay on the Place of Value, Volumes 84 and 99 in the Value Inquiry Book Series.
