Why Religious Studies Matters, Say Scholars of Three Faiths
Original: A Jain, a Jew, and an Episcopal Priest: Why Religious Studies Matters to Our Work
Interfaith America has published a piece by three scholars—a Jain, a Jew, and an Episcopal priest—arguing that training in religious studies is essential to their interfaith work. The authors suggest that understanding different traditions academically, not just devotionally, strengthens cooperation across faith lines and improves how organisations approach religious diversity.
Why now: Interfaith collaboration and religious literacy are recurring topics of public debate, giving the piece relevance beyond academic circles.
