Undergraduate Program Graduate Program Courses Student Resources ... Contact Us WHAT IS RELIGIOUS STUDIES? Put simply religious studies is the academic study of religion. Unless you have taken a religious studies course, however, this might not mean too much to you. It might help to say what religious studies is not. It is not "Sunday school" at the college level, or a professional program that trains people for the ministry. You don't have to be religious to study religion. Then, again, you certainly can be religious, and study your own religion, or other religious traditions, but from an academic perspective. Religious studies brings together perspectives and approaches from history, sociology, anthropology, philosophy, and literature to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the individuals and traditions that constitute religions and cultures. For a long while many westerners have tended to think that religions are either "dying out' or have been relegated to the private sphere where they have little public or political importance. Recent events in the United States and around the world, however, have made it harder and harder to sustain this view. In our increasingly cosmopolitan world, the need to understand the root beliefs and values of diverse cultures has become a political and moral imperative. The academic study of religion seeks to explore the deep intersections between religions and cultures which have shaped, and continue to shape, personal and collective identity.

Religious studies From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Various religious symbols Religious studies , or Religious education , is the academic field of multi-disciplinary, secular study of religious beliefs, behaviors, and institutions. It describes, compares, interprets, and explains religion, emphasizing systematic, historically-based, and cross-cultural perspectives. While theologians attempt to understand the subject matter of religion from within a particular religious tradition, scholars of religion study human religious behavior and belief from outside any particular religious viewpoint. Religious studies draws upon multiple disciplines and their methodologies including anthropology sociology psychology philosophy , and history of religion Religions studies originated in late 19th century in Europe, when scholarly and historical analysis of the Bible had flourished, and Hindu and Buddhist texts were first being translated into European languages. Early influential scholars included Friedrich Max M¼ller , in England, and Cornelius P. Tiele

18. Mt. Baldy/Text&Teachers AUTHORITATIVE TEXTS AND TEACHER. If the history of MBZC seems to center on Joshu Sasaki Roshi, the teaching done at MBZC centers around him even more. http://www2.hmc.edu/www_common/religious_studies/baldy/text_teach.html

AUTHORITATIVE TEXTS AND TEACHER If the history of MBZC seems to center on Joshu Sasaki Roshi, the teaching done at MBZC centers around him even more. In a very traditional manner, Joshu serves as roshi, or "venerable spiritual teacher." His "function is to guide and inspire his students along the path to self-realization" (Kapleau 1965, 342). Joshu Roshi is a roshi in the traditional sense of one who had mastered the Dharma so that it is a part of him, so that he is able to lead others to master the Dharma in the same way. He is a man of confirmed character and maturity, having studied and served for many years in Japan before coming to serve as roshi in the United States. (Kapleau 1965, 342). There was a suggestion made that, because of Joshu's background in which his training began in the early part of this century, he maintains traditional standards with a rigor no longer practiced in Japan, and so seems old-fashioned to the younger members of the school that sent him out. (Gentry 1/19/96) Joshu Roshi is the religious authority of the MBZC community. He acts as tutor, teacher and charismatic leader for the monks and nun, as well as for the rest of the community. As the only member of the community to have clarified the Dharma, only he has the power to ordain. There are other monks and nuns in the wider Rinzai-ji who are able to teach to a certain level, and at least one, Genro, who can do koan practice and so is an acting roshi, but anyone in all of the Rinzai-ji who wishes to be ordained must go through Joshu Roshi (Kido 1994). This is authority is part of the reason Roshi travels so much, in order to go to other parts of the wider community and give them the opportunity for koan practice without having to travel to MBZC, since koan practice is so important for gaining enlightenment in Rinzai Zen. Because all others are dependent on Joshu Roshi for teaching, the Dharma line from which he comes is protected from rapid or impulsive change.
