One of the greatest challenges for instructors in religious studies is the task of explaining why, in colleges and universities, the truth claims of the religions studied are not accepted, but instead a disinterested, academic approach is taken. Indeed, for those students who remain confused, they often result in submit essays that reveal more about their religious upbringing than their ability to analyze a phenomenon objectively. This indispensable guide eases the transition for undergraduate students by explaining what they need to know about writing research essays pertaining to religion. The book covers topics such as developing a thesis, rewriting and proofreading, and theoretical and methodological assumptions.
