Case Study Discussion Guides

People make assumptions about the relationship between religion, scripture, and violence every day. One encounters them all the time on the internet, in the media, and in daily life. But recognizing and responding to these assumptions takes practice.

The discussion guides on this page can help you and your group develop your talents for spotting and responding to problematic thinking about religion, scripture, and violence.

Each guide is based on a contemporary real-world case study. They’re designed to be easy to follow, even if you haven’t thought much about this topic before. We’ve also provided extra notes for leaders and facilitators, so you’ll feel confident leading discussion.

Check out these suggested event plans for ideas about how to use these discussion guides at your online or in-person event.
