Drudgery Divine: On the Comparison of Early Christianities and the Religions of Late Antiquity

In this major theoretical and methodological statement on the history of religions, Jonathan Z. Smith shows how convert apologetic agendas can dictate the course of comparative religious studies. As his example, Smith reviews four centuries of scholarship comparing early Christianities with religions of late Antiquity (especially the so-called mystery cults) and shows how this scholarship has been based upon an underlying Protestant-Catholic polemic. The result is a devastating critique of traditional New Testament scholarship, a redescription of early Christianities as religious traditions amenable to comparison, and a milestone in Smith's controversial approach to comparative religious studies.

"An important book, and certainly one of the most significant in the career of Jonathan Z. Smith, whom one may venture to call the greatest pathologist in the history of religions. As in many precedent cases, Smith follows a standard procedure: he carefully selects his victim, and then dissects with artistic finesse and unequaled acumen. The operation is always necessary, and a deconstructor of Smith's caliber is hard to find."—Ioan P. Coulianu, Journal of Religion

From the supplier: Vanderbilt Univ in Alabama is using Wolfram Research Inc's Mathematica 1.2 mathematical software to revitalize its approach to the teaching of mathematics. The Mathematica program offers a combination of programming tools, graphical, symbolic and numerical capabilities. To alter the perceived 'drudgery to insight ratio' in the direction of student insight and enhanced motivation, twelve professors designed courses based on Mathematica. The course design was manifested in four stages. Instructors used the software to demonstrate, to develop materials on the Notebook interface, to develop homework assignments and to design a series of Lecture and Practice Notebooks. Currently, eight of the 30 teachers in Vanderbilt's Mathematics Dept are using the software, which, along with its Apple Macintosh hardware base, has been upgraded.
