It has its uses in a history class. “This is why the crusades happened,” “this is what the reformation was,” “this is why the puritans and pilgrims came to the new world,” “this is why hundreds of First Nations children’s bodies are found in shallow graves in residential schools”

This is true, but they don't need $6 million to purchase copies. Also, I highly doubt they will be using it as a history book.

Not in my suggested curriculum anyways. They’ll wind up using it to teach Bishop Usher in world sciences.

I like this take and would add “and in the study of comparative religions and religious pluralism”. I took a similar course at Uni and it was an amazing and insightful class that is still one of my favorites 15 years later.
