In your project paper in the course you discuss the views of people within one local religious community on the subject of the meaning and the role of religion. The course book by capps discusses the views of many thinkers and ideas on the same two subjects. He sometimes uses parallel terms to refer to what your paper calls the meaning and role of religion. The lectures and other readings also refer to thinkers and ideas on the same subjects. During the sixth lecture of the course on studying hinduism, buddhism and chinese popular. Religions , professor mcintire discussed the ten large trends of studying religion. One such trend is the movement from great thinkers to the thinking of ordinary people who experience and live religion.
