Developing Relational Pedagogical Techniques in Comparative Christian-Muslim Courses
Teaching Theology & Religion, v27 n3 p85-89 2024
The article acknowledges the limits of the categories of similarity and difference in undergraduate comparative religion courses. To challenge these limitations, including the potential for dualistic or "us/them" thinking, several pedagogical attempts to increase relationality in Christian-Muslim courses are explored. Relational methods include emphasizing living and public interreligious conversations during class segments on scriptural figures as well as humanizing perpetrators of religiously motivated violence.
