“Reminiscent of the size and scope of Strunk and White’’s The Elements of Style, Mari Rapela Heidt’’s A Guide for Writing about Theology and Religion is a slim style manual addressing the particulars of writing about topics in theology and religious studies. The book’’s primary goal is to serve as a guide for undergraduates to improve their writing in religion and theology courses. The author holds a PhD in theological ethics from Marquette University and teaches in the Religious Studies Department at the University of Dayton. Drawing from her experience teaching undergraduates, Heidt sets out to distill the fundamentals of good writing she sees as lacking in many of her students’’ assignments. At a little over a hundred pages, the book is just what the author describes in the preface: a “crash course” on punctuation, citation, and word usage (10).”
