Digging deep into religious understandings

A Fourth Year student of mine, Erika Jacobsen, is doing fieldwork in Washington, D.C. this semester. Before she left, I supplied her with a huge list of books and contact people, with the hope that the connections she would make, both in her readings and encounters, would lead to insights and perspectives one could not find in a classroom. But I can't say I knew for sure what she would discover -- I just hoped something would open her eyes in a special way.
