The purpose of this study is to provide an overview of the research situation regarding study visits and the use of sacred texts as a didactic method in religious education. With the help of the overview, the methods are combined to investigate whether they can be used in an advantageous way in religious studies teaching at the Swedish upper secondary school. The study is based on a theoretical framework consisting of hermeneutics and John Dewey's pragmatism. With the help of concepts and thoughts from these, the results of the overview and how the methods can be advantageous are discussed. The study shows that both study visits and the use of sacred texts in teaching can bring benefits for students' learning. In combination, many of the challenges that exist can be met, but this requires the teacher to take these into account. The use of a combination of methods of study visits and sacred texts in teaching can have positive effects on the school's educational mission and students role as citizens in a democratic society.
