| Σύνοψη: | This article examines the pedagogical challenges and value of using objectionable texts in the classroom by way of two case studies: Martin Luther's writings on Jews and two works by J.S.

On the other hand, historically informed instructors can use difficult works to model good scholarly methodology and offer useful contexts for investigating of contemporary issues. Moral judgments about historical actors and events are inevitable, the authors argue, so the instructor's responsibility is to seize the opportunity for constructive dialogue. |
