This book guides scholars and teachers of theology and religion through a process of self-reflection that leads to intentional, transformative teaching, dialogue, and reform in theological education and religious studies.

Reviews

“In this volume Renee K. Harrison and Jennie S. Knight reflect on personal experiences in the classroom, explore pedagogical theory, and provide examples of applied practices to create a map of the key elements of engaged pedagogy. … For those who prize transformative pedagogy, this volume weaves the best of theory and practice in teaching theology and religion – accessibly, comprehensively, and indeed engagingly. Highly recommended for undergraduate, seminary, and graduate teachers alike.” (Krista E. Hughes, Wabash Center, wabash.edu, August, 2016)


'This book conveys a depth of scholarship and shared know-how that is much needed in theological education. The theoretical explanation is enriched and vivified by personal reflection and suggestions of practice.' - Nancy Lynne Westfield, Drew University, USA
