Why Religious Studies Matters to Interfaith Work
Original: A Jain, a Jew, and an Episcopal Priest: Why Religious Studies Matters to Our Work
Interfaith America has published a piece arguing for the value of religious studies in everyday professional work, told through the perspectives of a Jain, a Jewish contributor, and an Episcopal priest. The authors suggest that understanding different religious traditions strengthens collaboration and public life. The article frames religious literacy as a practical skill rather than a purely academic pursuit.
Why now: It offers a fresh argument for religious literacy at a time of growing interest in interfaith cooperation.
