"Drawing on a range of methodologies, editors George D. Chryssides and Stephen E. Gregg shift attention from normative textual and doctrinal matters to issues of materiality and everyday life in Christianity. This handbook is structured in four parts, which include coverage of the following aspects of Christianity: sacred space and objects, cyber-Christianity, food, prayer, education, family life, fundamentalism and sexuality. In addition, issues of gender, race and ethnicity are treated throughout. The international team of contributors provide in-depth analysis that highlight the current state of academic study in the field and explores areas in which future research might develop. Clearly organised to help users quickly locate key information and analysis, the book includes an A to Z of key terms, extensive guides to further resources, a comprehensive bibliography and a timeline of major developments in the field, making it a unique resource to upper-level students and researchers."--Bloomsbury Publishing

In describing his methods for teaching undergraduates how to scientifically approach the study of law & courts, this professor argues that students must be able to generate answers to questions based on their own thinking, rather than on research previously conducted by others. To accomplish this level of thinking, students must learn scientific inference, how to test hypotheses, & how to interpret results. This professor then goes on to describe a course that he teaches at Stony Brook U designed to promote such thinking among undergraduate students. The end goal of the course is to teach students to "produce knowledge, not just consume it.". 11 References. K. Larsen
