520 What is "Religious Studies" and what is its future in
Atlantic Canada? How have universities founded by Roman
Catholic and Protestant denominations, and public
universities, differed as they approached the study of
religious life and traditions? Religious Studies in
Atlantic Canada surveys the history and place of the study
of religion within Canadian universities. Following a
historical introduction to the public and denominationally
founded universities in the Atlantic region, the book
situates the departments of religious studies in relation
to the distinctive characteristics of the various
universities in the region, focusing on curriculum,
research and teaching. Bowlby examines the current
strengths of the religious studies departments in Atlantic
Canada, and where those departments are fragile, i.e.,
where departments have thrived because of careful long-
term planning, as well as where crises of retirements have
radically affected the size and strength of departments.
In conclusion Bowlby suggests strategies for future
survival and growth in the field of religious studies.
Religious Studies in Atlantic Canada is the last of a six-
part series on the state of the art of religious studies
in Canada, a unique account of the regional differences in
the development of religious studies in Canada. Written
for anyone interested in the teaching of religion as well
as the specialist, the book provides an introduction and
an overview of religious studies curricula, faculty
research, and teaching areas at the region's universities
