jaar-theory-and-method

separate

Use when articulating the theory and method of a Journal of the American Academy of Religion (JAAR) article. JAAR prizes method-conscious, reflexive, non-confessional scholarship and explicitly publishes studies of the methodologies by which religion is explored. Sharpens the theoretical/methodological frame; it does not gather sources.

When to use

• Stating the framework and method that drive the analysis
• Addressing reviewer feedback on undertheorized or naive method
• Justifying the basis of comparison
• Reflecting on the scholar's position and its effect on the analysis
• Making theory and method explicit and load-bearing

When not to use

• Gathering sources
