Teaching African American Religions PDF
Edited by Carolyn M. Jones, Theodore Louis Trost
Part of the AAR Teaching Religious Studies series
Description
The variety and complexity of its traditions make African American religion one of the most difficult topics in religious studies to teach to undergraduates.
The sheer scope of the material to be covered is daunting to instructors, many of whom are not experts in African American religious traditions, but are called upon to include material on African American religion in courses on American Religious History or the History of Christianity.
Also, the unfamiliarity of the subject matter to the vast majority of students makes it difficult to achieve any depth in the brief time allotted in the survey courses where it is usually first encountered.
The essays in this volume will supply functional, innovative ways to teach African American religious traditions in a variety of settings.
