Corrywright, Dominic

Dominic Corrywright is a British scholar of religious studies and religious education who has made significant contributions to the academic study of religion through his pedagogical and methodological work. He is best known for co-authoring "Get Set for Religious Studies" (2003) with Peggy Morgan, which serves as a comprehensive introduction to the academic discipline of religious studies for undergraduate students. The text demonstrates Corrywright's commitment to presenting religion as a complex phenomenon requiring interdisciplinary approaches, including philosophical, sociological, and anthropological perspectives. His work emphasizes the importance of critical thinking in approaching religious phenomena and the distinction between confessional theology and the academic study of religion. Corrywright's pedagogical contributions have been instrumental in shaping how religious studies is taught in British higher education, particularly in helping students understand various methodological approaches to studying religious belief, practice, and experience from a non-confessional standpoint.
