TEACHSOC: Re: soc of religion materials

[Del Thomas Ph. D.]

Thank you for promoting non-lecture based learning materials.

Go to the Wadsworth webpage and look for Religion in Sociological Perspective.  There will be links to the instructor’s guide material.  If that doesn’t work, send me a private e-mail and I can send you some materials as an attachment.   Also, the ASA Teaching Resources Center has a monograph on Teaching the Sociology of Religion with many good ideas from some very creative people.  Go to: http://www.e-noah.net/asa/asashoponlineservice/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=ASAOE338S04     Keith   *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *     Keith A.
