Prepare for a tutoring lesson.

Try this with Studies of Religion

1. Pick one topic and bring a question, an attempted answer or a short section of your notes.
2. Write a goal you can check at the end, such as explaining a method or improving a response.
3. Choose one independent follow-up task to try after working through the example.

Pick a starting point

• What is a religion? Smart's dimensions and the four disciplinary lenses
• The divine and ultimate reality across Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam and Judaism
• Human purpose, the human condition, death and the afterlife
• Working from practice to belief: ritual, worship, story and sacred text
• Christian variants: the Great Schism, the Reformation and Catholic–Orthodox–Protestant differences
• Sunni and Shi'a, Orthodox and Progressive Judaism, Theravada and Mahayana, Vaishnava and Shaiva
